The CMR Board Review Course organized by the SCMR, is intended to align to the objectives for the physician certification in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) launched by the Alliance for Physician Certification & Advancement™ (APCA™).

The Certification Board of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CBCMR) examination assesses candidates on their knowledge, skills and abilities in preparing patients for CMR studies, selecting appropriate protocols, conducting CMR studies in a spectrum of scenarios and interpreting the results, and performing post-processing tasks.
