Training Programs Achieve UCNS Accreditation
11-18-2019 The United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties (UCNS) is pleased to announce the names of five newly accredited UCNS fellowship training programs. Programs attaining UCNS accreditation status offer the core curriculum established by the subspecialty and meet required quality standards established by the UCNS.
Accreditation is a voluntary process of evaluation and peer review based on UCNS accreditation standards. Fellows who complete a UCNS-accredited program meet the training eligibility requirements to apply for certification in the subspecialty. There are now 202 UCNS-accredited training programs in UCNS-recognized neurologic subspecialties. UCNS congratulates the following programs and their program directors in achieving UCNS accreditation effective December 1, 2019:
