(formerly The American Board of Qualification in Electroencephalography, Inc.) was founded in 1946 by Herbert Jasper, M.D. It is one of the oldest free-standing Board for medical certification.\nThe purpose of the Board is to establish and improve standards of knowledge and proficiency in the professional practice of Clinical Neurophysiology (CNP). The ABCN examination is intended to test the knowledge of the candidate in CNP involving the central nervous system. The Board will expect the candidate to demonstrate knowledge in the area of basic neurological science that is relevant to understanding and performing related procedures involved with the practice of CNP in disorders of the nervous system. This is accomplished by examinations in the field of Clinical Neurophysiology (CNP) of the Central Nervous System, including Electroencephalography (EEG), Evoked Potentials (EP), and Sleep. The Board grants one or more subspecialty designations (upon successful completion of the Part II examination) in the areas of:  General Clinical Neurophysiology, Epilepsy Monitoring, Neurophysiologic Intraoperative Monitoring and Critical Care EEG. The Board issues certification to eligible candidates who have satisfactorily completed both Parts I and II of the examination.\nThe ABCN Clinical Neurophysiology examinations are sponsored by the American Board of Cliinical Neurophysiology. The examinations are administered by the Professional Tesitng Corporation (PCT) on behalf of ABCN. PTC utilizes Prometric testing sites for delivery of the computer-based examinations.\nQuestions concerning the ABCN examinations should be directed to the ABCN Executive Office, (217) 726-7980/ janice@abcn.org or abcn@att.net.\nTRAINING REQUIREMENTS\nThe ABCN is an American medical subspecialty board. Therefore, all candidates for Diplomate status must be physicians (MD, DO, MBBS, or equivalent) who have completed primary board certification in Neurology or a related board that is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties.\nAn applicant who wishes to be examined by the Board must be a physician who has successfully completed residency training in Neurology/Pediatric Neurology or a related field such as Neurosurgery, Psychiatry, or a critical care specialty such as Anesthesia or Critical Care, in an ACGME, UCNS or RCPSC-accredited program, and has obtained primary board certification in that area of medical subspecialty.\nIn addition, an applicant must have completed (or will complete within two months) training for a minimum of 12 months (full time, or full-time-equivalent through extended part-time training), as supervised by a board certified clinical neurophysiologist, in a CNP, Epilepsy or Neuromuscular  fellowship program. At least 9 months of the 12 month CNP training following successful completion of residency training is required for board eligible status.\nThe Critical Care EEG Track requires one year of Neurophysiology/EEG Fellowship training or six months of EEG training during NeuroCritical Care Fellowship and an additional six months of supervised experience.\nThe training required for","cbCaipwvSnzMmmT0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipwvSnzMmmT0","docx",113798,22,"English","# Introduction\n# Training Requirements\n## Exemptions\n## Application Procedure\n## Administration, Scheduling & Rescheduling\n# Examination Results\n# Certification & Recertification\n# Rules for the Examination","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the ABCN Clinical Neurophysiology examinations?\",\"answer\":\"The ABCN examinations test candidate knowledge in clinical neurophysiology related to the central nervous system.
