Speciality Levels of Accreditation
There are three levels of CMR accreditation:
Level 1 competency is the most basic level and reflects core CMR training that should be obtained by all cardiology trainees.
Level 2 competency is the level required for an individual wishing to report CMR studies—with local or remote support from a Level 3 certified individual.
Level 3 competency is required for individuals wishing to perform, interpret, and report CMR studies fully independently, to lead a CMR laboratory and to supervise CMR training programmes in an accredited CMR training centre.
