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

The goals of certification are to protect patients from undergoing transesophageal echocardiographic examinations performed by unqualified persons and to set a European standard for competency and excellence in this field.

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

The certification process will identify qualified practioners of transthoracic echocardiography and should enhance their professional image.

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

 Certification in TEE 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. 

 Sonographers (technicians) and doctors of all disciplines can apply for certification in TEE.
