The American Clinical Neurophysiology Society (ACNS) will offer the 13th annual in-service examination assessing knowledge of clinical neurophysiology of the central nervous system again this year. The examination is offered to Clinical Neurophysiology Fellows and Neurology Residents.
Please note that the dates of the exam have been changed to Thursday, April 12 – Monday April 16, 2012. In addition, the exam will be taken online this year. Training directors may set the specific time and date of the examination at their sites. Further details of the online exam will be sent as soon as possible.
The examination will cover basic neurophysiology relevant for the understanding of clinical neurophysiology tests, technical aspects of physiological recording and testing methodology, and interpretation of tests with regard to neurological and general medical disease.
Specific topic areas will include:
· basic neurophysiology
· instrumentation
· clinical EEG
· epilepsy
· clinical evoked potentials
· sleep monitoring
· intraoperative monitoring
In order to provide residents and program directors with the most useful feedback, scores will be given in each topic area as well as for the test as a whole. Program Directors will receive all scores and the residents will receive their individual scores. Percentile scores will be calculated separately for Neurology residents and Clinical Neurophysiology residents.
Clinical Neurophysiology training program directors, in particular, will find this examination to be a useful formal method of trainee assessment.
The fee for the examination is $125 per candidate. The registration deadline is March 30, 2012. Registrations received after the March 30 deadline will be subject to a $10 per candidate late fee.
