The program guides you through the key principles, equipment, pacing protocols, arrhythmia mechanisms and ablation techniques used and seen in the everyday EP lab. Intracardiac recordings will also be taught, endowing participants with the ability to understand and follow procedures in the EP lab, as well as explain these procedures to patients and relatives.

Participants will also have full access to regular 30-40 minute scheduled live-streamed workshop sessions
The sessions will deliver case studies, tutorials or general Q & A
Participants will have the ability for live interaction and discussions
The sessions will be scheduled at various days and times to allow participants many options to attend
The sessions are invaluable in allowing interaction with peers and to clarify unfamiliar or complex concepts
Upon enrolment participants will have uninterrupted 12 month access to all online education tools at www.cepia.com.au including all lectures in full colour with audio, case studies, tutorials and live-streamed workshops
Participants will be able to demonstrate:
Improved knowledge of cardiac anatomy and physiology
Solid understanding of the role of EPS in managing patients with bradyarrhythmias and tachyarrhythmias
Enhanced knowledge of patient and lab set up and equipment used
Familiarity of catheter access and approaches, basic catheter locations and electrogram interpretation
Understanding of pacing protocols used during EPS
Appreciation of common arrhythmia aetiology, mechanisms and diagnostic features
Comprehension of arrhythmia mapping and ablation techniques and endpoints
