 Requirements

The certification includes two parts:

  1. Theoretical part : written examination (Computer Based).
    Candidates will have to pass this first section successfully before going to the second part. 
  2. Practical part: eLogbook section.
    Candidates must submit a logbook of 250 clinical cases performed by him/her.

To obtain certification, candidates must succeed both the knowledge assessment (written examination) and the skills assessment (i.e. eLogbook).

Re-certification:
As echocardiography skills can only be maintained by continued education and practical involvement, certification will be granted for a period of five years. Afterwards, to remain certified, candidates will have to start the re-certification process demonstrating their continued practice and learning in this field.
Criteria for re-certification are listed here
