CAGEN
Responsibility to Applicants for Certification:
- The Board does not discriminate among applicants for certification or recertification
on the basis of age, sex, race, religion, national origin, disability, or
marital status. To facilitate the Board in providing for special accommodations
there is a section on the application where the applicant may indicate when
and what special accommodations are necessary. These accommodations may include
translators, readers, examinations in Braille, mobility adaptations, etc.
- The Board complies with all requirements of applicable federal and state
laws (e.g. Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990) with respect to all certification
and recertification activities and requires compliance of all contractors
and/or providers of services for the certification and recertification programs.
- The Board provides competently proctored examination sites at least once
annually.
- The Board shall not accept alternatives to the criteria set forth as required
for initial certification. Specifically, the clinical degree and license
to practice are essential under the law and cannot be subsumed by any amount
of alternative experience. The three hundred (300) hours of study in Neurology
must be completed. To alter this requirement might serve to jeopardize the
consumer of quality assured services.
- The Board, in the notification of examination results, provides applicants
who failed information on general content areas of deficiency along with
their scores. Candidates who passed are provided with the report that
they passed. No further information is provided to those who passed
because the examination is to discriminate only between minimally qualified
and not qualified candidates.
- The Board assures that each applicant's examination results are held confidential. However, the Board will update the Diplomate listing within three months after each examination so that the consumer may make informed choices about providers according to certification status as follows:
- Diplomate
- Date Certified
- Date Recertified
- Active Status
- The Board publishes on the web site a current list of those persons certified including the name, certification designation, office address and telephone number of the Diplomate, the date of initial certification, the date of recertification, and the current status (active, inactive, retired, suspended or revoked). This listing is to assist the public and other Diplomates in making referrals to certified clinicians and to informed choice for accredited providers. No other information shall be made public.
