A Tradition of Honoring Excellence

The International Board of Heart Rhythm Examiners (IBHRE) represents a standard of excellence for cardiac arrhythmia professionals, and its exam is recognized globally as the highest benchmark of professional competency in cardiac pacing, defibrillation and electrophysiology.

Formerly known as NASPExAM®, IBHRE was founded in 1985 to raise the level of professionalism and academic credibility in cardiac pacing. Based in Washington, DC, the organization is an independent entity under the auspices of the Heart Rhythm Society. The initial examination was created for physicians and surgeons. In 1989, a similar examination was developed for allied professionals (e.g., nurses, physician assistants and those employed in industry). In 1997, IBHRE added a third examination in the specialty of cardiac electrophysiology for the allied professional.

IBHRE is committed to maintaining a standard of excellence and has ongoing efforts to update exam content to reflect changes in modern medicine. The IBHRE exam offers unparalleled distinction in the field of heart rhythm management and gives both physicians and allied professionals an opportunity to:

  • Validate knowledge essential to the practice of heart rhythm management
  • Gain the competitive advantage
  • Elevate status in the field
  • Demonstrate commitment to the highest standard of patient care
  • Achieve international recognition

More than 7,000 individuals have taken IBHRE exam and earned certification by demonstrating their specific competence in cardiac rhythm device therapy.

An affiliate, independent body of the Heart Rhythm Society, IBHRE is enriched by cardiac arrhythmia health care professionals who strive for excellence and optimal health care by passing this distinguished exam. Participation in the exam is consistent with the Heart Rhythm Society’s overall purpose to improve the care of patients by promoting research, education and optimal health care policies and standards. Working together to standardize the profession, IBHRE and HRS provide the most current testing and professional development tools with advances in heart rhythm management to enhance knowledge and delivery of health care to patients.
