ISHLT Academy Core Competency Course Standards and Application
A Core Competency Course (CCC) is an educational event designed for professional development in accordance with the mission and strategic plan of the ISHLT. The primary aim is to offer professionals with limited expertise or familiarity of a given topic
a state of competence with the foundational knowledge and core concepts of a particular area and to provide a review course for established providers in the field. As science within each field progresses, participation in the CCC will enable all participants
to achieve better familiarity with evolving core standards of evidence-based care.
It is in the interests of ISHLT to provide educational activities with the highest possible standards in education and post-graduate development. The purpose of the below standards is to:
- Ensure optimal quality in course preparation and course delivery by faculty
- Ensure the desirable attributes of a learning environment for the CCC
- Ensure that learning objectives are met for each CCC
