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

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

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

Through the certification process, qualified practioners of transthoracic echocardiography will be identified and their professional image will be enhanced.

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

 Certification in TTE 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 TTE.
