About IBHRE
International Partnership

In 2007, IBHRE formed a strategic partnership with the Japanese Heart Rhythm Society to tailor the U.S. Examination for Competency in Cardiac Rhythm Device Therapy for the Allied Professional to the needs of the Japanese health care system. IBHRE representatives worked closely with their Japanese counterparts to develop an examination that met the requirements mandated by the Japanese Ministry of Health. The exam is intended to ensure a standard knowledge base for those involved in assisting physicians and other health care professionals in the implant and management of pacemakers and ICDs.
