Anybody take these? Recommendations on studying?
Following thread.Anybody take these? Recommendations on studying?
I took them this year because I was eligible and thought that it would help my CV. It actually only serves to be a very expensive ego boost given the $3000 for the test and cost for prepping. I am now reconsidering having done it especially given all the things I had going on while I was prepping and the annoyance of having to wait 10-12 weeks for a result that they could provide much sooner than that in this day and age.Why bother taking them?
I've seen people with decades of neuroICU and neuroanesthesia experience, and neuroCCM certification, being screwed over when the neurosurgeons decided that they only wanted neurologists and neurosurgeons in their neuroICU.
NeuroCCM should not have a separate board certification for board-certified generalist intensivists, just for those coming through the neuroCCM fellowship pathway. Every neuro patient deserves a good neurologist/neurosurgeon and a good intensivist, meaning two specialists. Same in the cardiac units, where I've seen some royal F ups when cardiologists/cardiac surgeons play critical care.
