Résumé :

In accordance with the European proposals, adapted guidelines are proposed for a certification of clinical competence in adult echocardiography, with transoesophageal echocardiography as a special option. The conditions required to candidate to the certification, the exemptions of practical training for long-term echocardiographers and the organisation of the training itself are successively considered. Standards for training, site accreditation, official logbook characteristics, minimal numbers of examination and minimal stage duration are defined. Content of theoretical training, as well as organisation of formal and informal education and of final examination, are described.
