The area of cardiac electrophysiology (EP) is experiencing constant growth in hospital labs while the numbers of trained health care professionals in any realm are on the decline.
Electrophysiology is an area that requires a tremendous amount of training and education to not only create staff able to assist the physician, but also foster an interest and understanding in the long, complex cases. EP staff members must understand and be engaged in procedures in order to maintain their interest and committment.
Continuing education is of paramount importance to the success of any EP Lab and yet staff are presented with several hurdles in order to make it available.
This website is one of our avenues to present educational opportunities to our staff.
Here we will have a consistent source of articles, links to education and even links to our PPMC EP Education fundraisers for those wanting to help support our program.
Our PPMC EP Education Fund through the Providence Portland Medical Foundation is designed to provide grants to facilitate EP education for staff members to encourage their drive for electrophysiology expertise.
