Visit UCNS at 2023 Child Neurology Society Annual Meeting

Representatives from the UCNS will be available to provide information and answer questions in the UCNS exhibit booth October 4-5 at the 2023 Child Neurology Society Annual Meeting in Vancouver, BC. Stop by booth #416 in the exhibit hall to find out more about the UCNS neurologic subspecialty accreditation and certification opportunities relating to child neurology.

UCNS Accreditation is the Mark of Excellence for Neurologic Subspecialty Training Programs

The next deadline to submit applications for subspecialty fellowship programs seeking UCNS accreditation is January 31, 2024. Applications received by the deadline will be included in the spring 2024 application review cycle.

The UCNS accredits fellowship programs in the United States and Canada in 10 different neurologic subspecialties. Accreditation is a measure of training program excellence, and UCNS-accredited programs demonstrate that they meet the standards of graduate medical education excellence set by both the UCNS and relevant subspecialty experts. There are currently 233 UCNS-accredited training programs in the United States and Canada.

For questions about submitting a new application contact Amanda Carpenter at acarpenter@ucns.org.
