Have a straightforward question. I have prior CNP fellowship but have not yet taken the certification. I don't do any EMGs in practice or plan on doing any in the future as my practice is heavily inpatient and EEG focused, and I have no plans for academics. In light of ABPN MOC fees is CNP board certification even worthwhile to obtain? Obviously the general neurology ABPN certification has to be maintained, but what is the real benefit to CNP certification? A failure on this test will potentially have to be disclosed in malpractice cases, recertification requires substantial recurring additional fees, and it would seem in private practice no one really cares about this certification. The most difficult portions of the test are EMG focused and things like evoked potentials and sleep studies I do not and will not ever read, so the relevance to my practice is minuscule. It also seems like one can come back and take the certification at any point in the future if it is actually needed (eg the 7 year limit applies only to general neurology boards). Any thoughts?
