UCNS Comment Periods

Proposed Accreditation Common Program Requirement Revisions

The program requirements include two components: common program requirements, which are required of all subspecialties (bold typeface), and subspecialty-specific (regular typeface). All program requirements must undergo regular review, at least every five years. The UCNS Common Program Requirements recently underwent the five-year review process, and the public is now invited to comment on the proposed revisions that are shown using track changes PDF document.

Proposed Accreditation Neonatal Neurocritical Care Milestones

Milestones are used to evaluate a fellow’s progression through the training program. Common milestones have been developed for all subspecialties for Interpersonal and Communication Skills, Practice-based Learning and Improvement, Professionalism, and Systems-based Practice. The subspecialty-specific milestones are developed by task forces of subject matter experts appointed by the subspecialty. Subspecialty stakeholders and the neurology community are invited to provide comments for the proposed Medical Knowledge and Patient Care milestones for the subspecialty of Neonatal Neurocritical Care.
