The American Board of Clinical Neurology (ABCN) is a committee of the American Federation for Medical Accreditation offering certification to physicians who have demonstrated appropriate education, training, and knowledge (through written and oral examination) related to the specialty of clinical neurology.
American Board of Clinical Neurology (ABCN) Board Certification
To ensure effective, safe, and ethical practice in the field of clinical neurology, AFMA provides this specialized accreditation that certifies a practicing clinical neurologist’s education, skills, clinical experience, and behavior.
Our ABCN certification provides an integral service to hospitals, health systems, and medical groups, as well as to the community of clinical neurologists, patients, and the public, allowing them to make intelligent and informed decisions regarding hiring, selection, and referral to clinical neurologists.
Patients can be assured that an ABCN board-certified clinical neurologist has the specialized skills, education, clinical experience, and knowledge to practice in the field of clinical neurology.
Complete details on the specific education, training, practice, and credentialing requirements for admission to sit for our ABCN board certification examinations are available on our Become Certified page. This is where you can learn the requirements and apply for certification.
Our Mission
AFMA ensures that the certifications it offers for the American Board of Clinical Neurology (ABCN) Board Certification maintains high standards and appropriate internal policies and practices for the administration of examinations for board certification. AFMA’s American Board of Clinical Neurology (ABCN) Board Certification is intended to enhance the boards of other accreditation bodies and add an extra dimension that they may not be able to provide, traditionally or politically.
