What are your benefits from getting the EAE certification in CHD?

The goals of certification are to protect patients from undergoing transthoracic echocardiographic examinations performed by unqualified persons.

 The goal of certification is to set a European standard for competence and excellence in congenital echocardiography.

Certification in CHD should bring credibility and professional legitimacy to an individual by demonstrating his/her competency getting this certification.

 Through a certification process, qualified practitioners of paediatric and congenital echocardiography will be identified and their professional image will be enhanced.

 The European certification is designed to test the competency of an individual to be able to perform, interpret and report unsupervised routine congenital echocardiographic studies.

 The certification in CHD is not a compulsory or regulatory certificate of competence or excellence. Individuals' rights to report and sign clinical studies in individual countries remain to be defined by National laws and regulations.
