History
IBHRE certification exams were conceptualized in 1984. On October 11, 1984, Past Presidents of NASPE met concerning the design of a certification exam, and they agreed that this initiative should be pursued. Established in 1985 as NASPExAM, IBHRE is a self-governing, credentialing organization that provides competency certification in the fields of cardiac rhythm device therapy, cardiac device remote monitoring, and cardiac electrophysiology for physicians and allied professionals.
