Physician FASE Checklist

Use this resource to learn all about how physicians can achieve the Fellow of ASE designation. The checklist outlines all the required documentation needed to submit with your application including:

• Medical License in good standing (active, without limitations or restrictions)
• ASE Membership for current and previous year. Fellows in Training and medical students are not eligible to apply for FASE
• Proof of Specialty Board Certification
• Proof of Subspecialty Board Certification in Cardiovascular Ultrasound (e.g., NBE Testamur or Diplomate status, verifiable international certification, etc.) Board certified applicants without cardiovascular ultrasound subspecialty certification (in cases where such certification is not available) must provide proof that cardiovascular certification is not available and must be documented in letters of recommendation.
• Verification of 25 CME hours specific to cardiovascular ultrasound in the three (3) years preceding submission of FASE application (copies of certificates/ transcripts)
• Three (3) supporting letters that reflect TWO of the FASE categories are fulfilled (education, research, leadership/volunteerism). Supporting letters and curriculum will be assessed by verifiable participation in TWO or more of the three professional activites (Education, Research, Leadership/Volunteerism) within the past five years. One of the letters must be from a physician.
• Current Curriculum Vitae (reflective of activities within one year of application)

All other submitted materials are reviewed by the FASE Advisory Committee to determine if applicants meet the FASE criteria. Final eligibility will be determined by the FASE Advisory Committee after careful review of the submitted materials.
