There are several specialties that take an exam by the UCNS after fellowship for "accreditidation". The ones that come to mind are:
Neurocritical care
Behavioral Neurology
Autonomic Disorders
Headache
Neuroimaging
Neuro-oncology
At their site, for now their fellowship directory includes a list of institutions offer headache and behavioral neurology meeting UCNS criteria. Apparently, all others are in the works.
I've wondered the same thing. Is there a practical incentive to seeking out certifications in these types of subspecialities?
Of the several subspecialites in neuro that are not 'board-accredited' by the ACGME, but are certified/accredited by other agencies (headache, behavioral, NM, neuro-onc, neauro-imaging), does it make a difference in the long run to go to a program that is accredited and to pursue the certification?
