Submit Subspecialty Journal Articles for 2025 C-cert Reading List
What recent research or practice guidelines have you read that you think are most important to your subspecialty field of medicine? Submit those important and relevant articles for consideration on your subspecialty's 2025 continuous certification (C-cert) reading list.

The C-cert process is intended to be an engaging process for diplomates that helps them stay current on the newest therapeutics and treatments for patients. Keep your eyes and ears open throughout the year for articles you think should be included on the annual reading lists. Articles submitted by June 30th will be considered for inclusion on subspecialty 2025 C-cert reading lists.

Articles must meet the submission criteria and article selection requirements for inclusion consideration on the annual C-cert reading lists. Articles are reviewed and selected by each of the subspecialty certification examination committees. Submission information is available on the UCNS website at ucns.org/ArticleSubmission.
