EHRA certification: a 15-year journey of attesting excellence in arrhythmia healthcare
Why the study?
Specialized arrhythmia healthcare certification differed considerably across ESC countries, lacking structured national programs in most, prompting EHRA Certification to provide a homogeneous competence assessment.
Population
1958 physicians in cardiac device exam, 1235 in electrophysiology exam, and 666 allied professional candidates
