Key result
Physicians achieve an ~81% pass rate on the critical care echocardiography exam.
Why the study?
A standardized examination and certification process was needed to assess competence in critical care echocardiography across diverse critical care practitioners.
Cross-Sectional (n=524)
The newly developed CCEeXAM successfully assessed competence in critical care echocardiography, with 81.3% of the initial 524 candidates achieving a passing score.
Supports accessible CCEeXAM certification pathways; extends initial validation but leaves predictive validity and clinical impact open.
