“Passage of the IBHRE examination with the pediatric/congenital module can be viewed as a valid measure of the specific knowledge underlying pediatric and congenital EP. Consequently, this committee strongly recommends that all graduating fellows, as well as all active clinicians in the field, take this examination.”
