“…The "Heart Rhythm Society Expert Consensus Statement on Electrophysiology Laboratory Standards: Process, Protocols, Equipment, Personnel, and Safety" provides general recommendations for the EP laboratory. 7 In addition to physical space and facilities, the teaching environment must include a systems-based practice that allows for effective communication between the outpatient and inpatient environments and among different specialists. Facilities must also have systems or mechanisms in place that continuously evaluate quality and clinical outcomes.…”

“…In addition to facilities recommendations, the HRS Expert Consensus Statement on Electrophysiology Laboratory Standards: Process, Protocols, Equipment, Personnel, and Safety provides detailed recommendations on equipment necessary for performing invasive EP studies and placing CIEDs. 7 Equipment and technology in the EP laboratory will continue to evolve rapidly, and a mechanism must be present that allows assessment and integration of important new technologies. In addition to equipment physically located within the EP suite, access to equipment and technologies outside of the EP suite, such as transesophageal echocardiography and advanced imaging (eg, computed tomography [CT] scanning, cardiovascular magnetic resonance [CMR]), is essential for successful training in EP.…”

PreambleSince the 1995 publication of its Core Cardiovascular Training Statement (COCATS), the American College of Cardiology (ACC) has played a central role in defining the knowledge, experiences, skills, and behaviors expected of all clinical cardiologists upon completion of training. Subsequent updates have incorporated major advances and revisions-both in content and structure-including, most recently, a further move toward competency (outcomes)-based training, and the use of the 6-domain competency structure promulgated by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the American Board of Medical Specialties, and endorsed by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). A similar structure has been used by ACC to describe the aligned general cardiovascular lifelong learning competencies that all practicing cardiologists are expected to maintain. Many hospital systems also now use the 6-domain structure as part of medical staff privileging and peer-review professional competence assessments.Whereas COCATS has focused on general clinical cardiology, ACC Advanced Training Statements define selected competencies that go beyond those expected of all cardiologists and require training beyond a standard 3-year cardiovascular disease fellowship. This includes sub-subspecialties for which there is an ABIM added-qualification designation, such as clinical cardiac electrophysiology (CCEP). The Advanced Training Statements also describe key experiences and outcomes necessary to maintain or expand competencies during practice. The ACC Competency Management Committee oversees the development and periodic revision of the cardiovascular training and competency statements. A key feature of competency-based training and performance is an outcome-based evaluation system. Although specific areas of training may require a minimum number of procedures or duration of training time to ensure adequate exposure to the range of clinical disorders and to effectively evaluate the trainee, it is the objective assessment of proficiency and outcomes that demonstrates the trainee's achievement of competency. Such evaluation tools may include in-training examinations, direct observation, procedure logbooks, simulation, conference presentations, and multisource (360°) evaluations, among others.
