The American Board of Clinical Neurophysiology
Promoting a standard of excellence in Clinical Neurophysiology for over 70 years
The American Board of Clinical Neurophysiology, Inc. (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 Boards for medical certification.
The purpose of the Board is to establish and improve standards of knowledge and proficiency in the professional practice of Clinical Neurophysiology. This is accomplished by the successful completion of computer-based examinations in the field of Clinical Neurophysiology of the Central Nervous System, covering Electroencephalography (EEG), Evoked Potentials (EP), Polysomnography (PSG), Epilepsy Monitoring, and Neurophysiologic Intraoperative Monitoring (NIOM). The Board grants one or more subspecialty designations and issues a certificate to eligible candidates who have satisfactorily completed an examination.
Exam Options:
- General Central Clinical Neurophysiology
- Epilepsy Monitoring
- Neurophysiologic Intraoperative Monitoring
- Critical Care EEG
- Pediatric EEG
Remote Proctoring Now Available!
Your examination is now available to be administered in two ways: at a physical Prometric test center or via live remote proctoring in your home or another quiet distraction-free location. For the live remote proctoring option, you must provide a computer with a camera, microphone, and an internet connection to allow real-time communication with a remote proctor.
