IBHRE currently offers three specialty certifications for allied professionals (ex: clinical practitioners, device technicians, manufacture representatives, nurses and physician assistants) which are each administered once a year. Exams offered are:
- Certified Cardiac Device Specialist (CCDS)
- Certified Electrophysiology Specialist (CEPS)
- Cardiac Device Remote Monitoring Specialist (CDRMS)
The scope of each certification examination is determined through job task analysis (JTA). Job task analyses are performed every 5-7 years to ensure the requirements for the profession and competencies for certification are current and necessary. Prior to the fifth year of the JTA, the Board of Directors determines if a JTA is necessary or not. If not, the JTA will be conducted before the 7 years have elapsed from the date of the current JTA.
“IBHRE certification is sought and obtained by the best and brightest. It means these individuals care about EP/devices and keep up with current changes. Having patients ask if staff is IBHRE certified increases the value of the certification for employers, thus making an IBHRE certified employee more valuable.”
