How are Neurosurgeons certified?
Not all neurosurgeons, or doctors for that matter, are Board Certified. Only those who successfully complete an accredited training program, pass a series of written and oral examinations and have at least 2 years of practice data approved are certified by the American Board of Neurological Surgeons. In order to maintain board certification status, the neurosurgeon must continually update his knowledge base through ongoing study, courses, meetings and special symposia throughout his career.
