Our story

The American Board of Cardiovascular Medicine (ABCM) was founded
to advance cardiovascular care through rigorous, evidence-based education and certification for healthcare professionals.

Cardiology demands precision, confidence, and deep clinical understanding. ABCM exists to ensure nurses, advanced practitioners, technicians, students, and allied health professionals have access
to high-quality training that is practical, current, and clinically relevant. Our courses are designed to break down complex cardiac concepts
into clear, step-by-step learning experiences that translate directly
to patient care.

Our late co-founder, Dr. Henry J. L. Marrott, captured our mission perfectly when he walked into a classroom full of physicians and nurses and eloquently remarked:

“Ladies and Gentlemen, the Heart writes a best seller—learn
to read it well.”

That philosophy continues to guide everything we do. When you choose ABCM, you choose education and certification you can trust and a commitment to excellence in cardiovascular care.
