Why is the current certification system provided by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) not feasible for some Neurological Subspecialty Areas (NSAs)?
Gaining acceptance of a new subspecialty certificate through the ABMS is complex. The ABMS system is not organized to accredit and certify newly developing subspecialty areas. The UCNS will provide such an environment. These neurological subspecialties will need developmental support. The UCNS Parent Organizations will assist in providing this support.
