Membership is open to physicians, scientists, allied health professionals, and affiliated professionals whose careers demonstrate a commitment to EP and/or pacing.
Physician
Physicians or physician-scientists with an earned academic degree (MD or equivalent). Specialty Board Certification is encouraged. Trainee members must be enrolled in an approved training program.
Trainee membership is free to physicians who have completed medical school and are in training programs as interns, residents or fellows, and scientists who are involved in postgraduate training or research.
Allied Health Professional membership is for those who are not physicians and are actively involved with the technical aspect of pacemakers/ICDs, or the performance of electrophysiologic techniques, and who are employed by a clinical practice setting, academic institution or equivalent.
Scientist membership is for those who have advanced academic science or engineering degrees which reflect scientific training. Examples include those with Master’s, PhD or Eng SCD degrees (or equivalent) who hold faculty positions in academia or research positions with industry employers.
Affiliate membership is available to professionals who work for organizations associated with the EP field who do not qualify for existing membership categories (i.e., physician, allied health professional, or scientist).
Fellowship in the Heart Rhythm Society (FHRS) will help to distinguish you among health care providers and researchers for your advanced training, certification, and commitment to the field of electrophysiology.
