Congratulations!

Ann Mills, an electrophysiology technologist at the Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento’s Cardiac Cath Lab, has successfully passed an extremely difficult certification process from the International Board of Heart Rhythm Examiners (IBHRE) and is now a Certified EP Specialist (CEPS). IBHRE professionals have been tested on the scientific foundation, clinical skills, and technical knowledge required to provide and facilitate safe quality patient care in the management of arrhythmias. IBHRE Certification is an unparalleled recognition in the field of heart rhythm management. As the first and oldest organization to establish an exam in pacing and electrophysiology, the rich history of the exams and their unique position to measure competency in the specialty of cardiac rhythm device management and cardiac electrophysiology is now used as a model to certify physicians and allied professionals worldwide. Congratulations, Ann!
