QuestionsÂ
This course has evolved from the Society’s highly regarded Board Review Course and is designed to better serve a wider audience within the EP community, not only U.S. physicians preparing to certify or re-certify. While Core Concepts will serve as an indispensable tool for preparing for the CCEP Exam, it will also ensure a fundamentally sound EP knowledge base.
Core Concepts in EP and Board Prep is available entirely on demand and includes recorded lectures and workshops with additional learning sessions hosted by expert course directors and faculty. Without the time constraints of an in-person course, this on-demand learning activity allows faculty to offer more in-depth content and insights, while also covering new topics for the most comprehensive review of clinical cardiac electrophysiology.
Core Concepts in EP and Board Prep 2020 Program
The course consists of recorded didactic lectures and case-based workshops, augmented by recorded learning sessions with course directors and faculty for in-depth coverage of the essential EP curriculum.
