All diplomates, with the exception of current certification examination committee members who were involved in the subspecialty's 2023 C-cert activity development, are required to pay the annual C-cert fee and to complete all C-cert activities to maintain a certification status of "meeting requirements." The 2023 C-cert quizzes will be available in early May and notification will be sent to diplomates via a Diplomate Update email once they are available.

Submit Journal Articles for Your Subspecialty's 2024 C-cert Reading List
As you are reading your subspecialty's new 2023 subspecialty continuous certification (C-cert) journal article reading list, do you wonder who identified those articles? UCNS diplomates in your subspecialty submit the articles you see on the annual C-cert reading lists and now it is time to submit articles for 2024 reading list consideration.
The C-cert process is intended to be an engaging process for diplomates to submit the published research and practice guidelines that they feel are relevant and important to their subspecialty practice. Keep your eyes and ears open throughout the year for articles you think should be included on the list. The process is simple, and article recommendations can be submitted online throughout the year. Articles submitted by July 31st will be considered for inclusion on your subspecialty's 2024 C-cert reading list.
