What makes Brainscape’s IBHRE exam prep different?

The field of CRM is vast and complex, with professional certification not only difficult to attain but increasingly expensive. Most aspiring physicians and allied health professionals who face down the IBHRE CCDS exam in all its 5-hour glory feel overwhelmed by the avalanche of content and resources they need to learn. Brainscape’s smart flashcards arm you with the knowledge required, drawing from real-life examples and content across all device manufacturers.

Brainscape’s 1500+ flashcards provide a review of the most important and commonly tested topics in the latest, most current IBHRE® curriculum. This course spans the entire syllabus, from algorithms to indications and surgical techniques to timing cycles, with everything in-between.

Meet Brainscape’s IBHRE expert and lead author

Brainscape’s IBHRE® course was curated by Robert Jackson. Recipient of two cardiac master’s degrees, the IBHRE® CCDS, and a graduate of the NHS Scientist training program in cardiology; he developed these cards to be a comprehensive study resource for IBHRE® examinees.

Brainscape helps you learn faster and remember for longer

The brain is hardwired to learn and remember information a certain way. The Brainscape™ flashcard app was born out of the question: what if we leveraged this hardwiring to help students learn more efficiently? Fueled by curiosity, our team of cognitive scientists from Columbia and Yale spent years developing a scientifically optimized learning platform to boost your learning.

Our "secret sauce" is a learning algorithm that delivers information to your brain in a way that optimizes its ability to retain that information. And it’s the spaced repetition of IBHRE® content at precisely the right interval for YOUR brain that makes Brainscape so effective for remembering the facts.

With Brainscape’s IBHRE review, you get:

  • 1500+ Flashcards with in-depth coverage of the IBHRE curriculum.
  • Carefully designed and fact-checked information.
  • A customized flashcard repetition algorithm that cuts your memorization time dramatically.
  • Ongoing feedback, statistics, and visualization tools to help you track your progress.
  • Links and visuals to enhance the learning experience.
  • In sync studying across Brainscape’s website and app so you can study any time, anywhere!
