Seven Fellowship Programs Earn Accreditation
Congratulations to the seven 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 229 UCNS-accredited training programs in nine UCNS-recognized subspecialties, including the first two programs accredited in the newest UCNS-recognized subspecialty of Interventional Neurology.
