UCNS Headache Medicine Certification

The UCNS provides certification for emerging neurologic subspecialties that are too small to meet the subspecialty recognition requirements of the ABMS. Recognizing that a certifiable measure of competence and knowledge of physicians in a subspecialty area is no less important for growing subspecialties, the UCNS was created in 2003 as a nonprofit organization that can provide a means for these subspecialties to develop the standards and certify the expertise of physicians practicing in these areas of medicine.
