Certification - A measure of subspecialty expertise
Certification demonstrates to peers, employers, and patients that a physician has fulfilled a set of standards and knowledge requirements that sets them apart as a leader in their subspecialty field. Physicians who are certified by the UCNS have voluntarily taken extra steps to demonstrate their neurologic subspecialty expertise and knowledge by passing a high-stakes certification examination that is developed by subject-matter experts in their field. UCNS certification has been the recognized certification for emerging neurologic subspecialties since 2003.
