Neurologic Subspecialty Reading Lists Keep UCNS Diplomates Updated in Their Field of Medicine

The 2024 subspecialty reading lists are now available for UCNS diplomates to begin their preparation for meeting their annual continuous certification (C-cert) requirements. UCNS diplomates must pass a knowledge assessment quiz that is based on their subspecialty's reading list content as part of their annual C-cert and life-long learning requirements. The subspecialty quizzes will be available to UCNS diplomates in late April. The reading lists can also be used as a resource by subspecialty journal clubs and any physician practicing in the subspecialties currently recognized by the UCNS.

Physicians are invited to engage in identifying the most important developments in the UCNS recognized subspecialty fields and submit the journal articles or practice guidelines that meet the submission criteria. Submissions are reviewed and selected annually by each subspecialty's certification examination committee.

Review the reading list submission criteria and submit articles for 2025 reading list consideration by June 30, 2024.
