Exam Registration Form
Requirements
You must successfully complete one year of fellowship training (after residency) in a neuroradiology program accredited by the ACGME or by the RCPSC (Canada). You must also complete one year of practice or additional approved training, with one-third of that year spent in neuroradiology.
You will have 10 years after successfully completing the subspecialty training requirements to obtain certification.
Fellowship training must be documented by letter from the program director.
Practice experience must be verified by letter from the chief of service or department chairman.
Provide evidence of a current state medical license with an expiration date.
Leave of Absence
Leaves of absence and vacation may be granted to fellows at the discretion of the program director in accordance with local rules.
Within the required period(s) of graduate medical education, the total such leave and vacation time may not exceed six calendar weeks (30 working days) for fellows in a program for one year.
Alternate Pathway to Subspecialty Certification
A diplomate of the ABR may attain subspecialty certification without taking an accredited fellowship in neuroradiology if he/she is on the subspecialty faculty at an institution with an ACGME-accredited fellowship in that discipline. Serving on the subspecialty faculty at a single institution for two consecutive years with at least a .75 FTE in that discipline, or for three consecutive years with at least a .50 FTE in that discipline, would qualify the faculty member to take the initial subspecialty examination.
A registration form is required for the alternate pathway. It must be submitted to the ABR before a decision is made on candidate qualifications. Please note that a registration for attaining subspecialty certification by the alternate pathway will expire in 10 years if certification is not achieved by that time.
