DESCRIPTION:
Heart Rhythm Board Review OnDemand
The Heart Rhythm Society is the international leader in science, education, and advocacy for cardiac arrhythmia professionals and patients and is the primary information resource on heart rhythm disorders. Its mission is to improve the care of patients by promoting research, education, and optimal health care policies and standards.
Program Description
This program contains comprehensive content focused on preparation for the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) certification and recertification examinations in clinical cardiac electrophysiology. For those not preparing for the exam, this course is an excellent update and overview of cardiac electrophysiology
