ABCM Forms Strategic Alliance with Marriott Heart Foundation, Inc.

The ABCM, Inc. has formed an alliance with the Marriott Heart Foundation, Inc. (MHF), founded in 1996 in honor of Dr. Henry J. L. Marriott.  The MHF merged with the American College of Cardiovascular Nurses (ACCN) founded in 1991, American College of Cardiovascular Nurses Practitioners (ACCNP) founded in 2009, and the American College of Cardiac Monitoring (ACCM) founded in 2009, to provide educational opportunities for professionals seeking knowledge and/or certification preparation in a subspecialty area within the field of Cardiology.

ABCM's Mission Statement:

The American Board of Cardiovascular Medical Accreditation's (ABCM) Mission is to provide Professional Certification opportunities to  all care givers working in the Cardiology Service Line, including Medical, Nursing, and Technical Staff Members.  ​

​About Us:
The ABCM provides Board Certification Exams for Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Cardiac Nurses, ECG and Monitor Technicians, and EMT/Paramedics.  

The American Board of Cardiovascular Medical Accreditation, Inc. (ABCM) formed a liaison with the Marriott Heart Foundation, Inc., home of the home to the American College of Cardiovascular Nurse Practitioners (ACCNP), the American College of Cardiovascular Nurses (ACCN), and the American College of Cardiac Monitoring, to make Cardiology Courses available to those seeking to know how to study for their respective professional Certification Exams. 

While the ABCM does not offer educational preparation for Certification, we do recommend you consider the Marriott Heart Foundation, Inc,   All educational courses are the property of the Marriott Heart Foundation, Inc, and include packaged plans for all Certifications offered by the ABCM. You do not have to utilize the courses developed by the Marriott Heart Foundation, but they are highly targeted and recommended to those preparing for Board Certification in Cardiology.

​Alliance for Education:

Though the ABCM does not directly host review courses to prepare for the Certification Exams, however we have formed an Alliance with the Marriott Heart Foundation, Inc., along with her subsidiary organizations who host several cardiology courses including the annual Clinical Cardiology Course for Nurse Practitioners, the popular Cardiovascular Nursing Course for Cardiac Nurses, and 3 Levels of Electrocardiography Courses both live, and online on demand.

Marriott Heart Foundation (MHF) - Supporting Physician, Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant, Nursing, and Technical Education in Cardiology.  The MHF (named for our late Co-Founder, Dr. Henry J. L. Marriott) provides Sub-Specialty Educational opportunities to the gamut of cardiovascular care givers from physician to technician.  The ABCM highly recommends the Marriott Heart Foundation for most of your Cardiology Education and Certification Preparation. The reason is simple: Marriott did not believe in mediocrity in education, and his standards were high but by no means unrealistic.  Some of his famous last words of advice to MHF Founder Jonni Cooper, was to request that she not lower our standards but rather to encourage our students to raise their standard through knowledge.
