Your feedback is important! Check your email inbox for the 2021 UCNS Diplomate Survey. Over 3,200 UCNS diplomates received a survey by email requesting feedback on the UCNS certification and continuous certification (C-cert) process and more. Results of the survey will be summarized for review and consideration by the UCNS Certification Council and Board of Directors. A reminder email with the survey link was sent on September 13th to diplomates who have not completed the survey. The brief survey takes 2-3 minutes to complete.
