December 1st C-cert Deadline Quickly Approaching
Don't wait until the last minute! All UCNS diplomates are required to complete and meet the annual continuous certification (C-cert) requirements to maintain their subspecialty certification. December 1st is the deadline for completing all 2022 C-cert requirements (and any outstanding 2021 requirements) to maintain certification and ensure a certification status of "meeting requirements."
NOTE: The holiday season is approaching and due to upcoming holiday office closures, staff assistance will not be available during the days of office closure listed below in the dates and deadlines.
Where are YOU in the Annual C-cert Process?
If you have already passed your 2022 C-cert assessment quiz:
Congratulations, you've met the 2022 C-cert requirements.
You will receive an email with your CME confirmation when it is available in your diplomate profile within 30 days of passing your quiz.
If you have not paid your 2021 and/or 2022 C-cert fee(s):
Look for the "Pay Now" icon on the left side of your profile page to pay any outstanding 2021/2022 C-cert fees. Click "Help" to access website sign in and payment instructions.
Within 3-5 business days of payment you will receive an email notification that your C-cert quizis ready in the testing platform.
Diplomates who passed a UCNS re-certification examination in 2018 have their c-cert fee waived one last time and may proceed directly to the testing platform to take their quiz.

UCNS certification must be maintained by meeting the annual C-cert requirements.
