UCNS Approves Neonatal Neurocritical Care for Neurologic Subspecialty Recognition
The United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties (UCNS) has approved Neonatal Neurocritical Care (NNCC) for subspecialty recognition and will soon be accrediting training programs and certifying physicians in this rapidly evolving neurology subspecialty. NNCC provides complex diagnostic testing and prognostication required to care for the neurologically compromised maternal/ fetal dyad, preterm, or term newborn, and the developing child after discharge from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The NNCC subspecialty application was sponsored, prepared, and submitted by the Newborn Brain Society (NBS). The UCNS and NBS are currently identifying subspecialty experts to develop and finalize the subspecialty standards and requirements for fellowship training program accreditation and the certification criteria for physicians. For more information, visit UCNS.org.

Capitol Hill Report
Capitol Hill Report presents regular updates on legislative and regulatory actions and how the Academy ensures that the voice of neurology is heard on Capitol Hill. It is emailed to US members twice monthly and is posted at AAN.com/view/HillReport. Below are some recent highlights.
Latest Advocacy News
The 2023 Neurology on the Hill application is now open! Join us in Washington, DC, March 5–7, to lay the groundwork for tomorrow’s successes. You don’t need a background in public policy, just passion for making a positive change! The application closes November 21. Building on the success of the 2022 Neurology on the
Hill, we’re excited to announce H.R. 3173, Improving
Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act, has passed the
House of Representatives. Continue this momentum and encourage your senator to pass this bill. The AAN recently welcomed Kelly McCone, MPA,
Senior Congressional Affairs Manager, to its
Washington, DC, office. McCone will contribute to the
AAN’s federal advocacy efforts, with a primary focus on congressional relations. McCone joins the team with experience in federal affairs both on and off Capitol Hill.
Issue in Focus
The 2022 midterm elections are right around the corner! On Tuesday, November 8, we’ll head to the polls and choose, among other offices, who will represent us in the United States House and Senate. Between redistricting and retirements, this election will have a huge impact on neurology in the next few years. That’s why, regardless of your party affiliation, it’s so important that you remember to vote! As you know, it’s not always as simple as walking in the polling place and voting. Are you registered at the correct address? Do you need any identifying information in your state? Can you vote early or absentee? These laws differ state by state, but you can find all the information you need at the National Association of Secretaries of State “Can I Vote” website at nass.org/can-I-vote.
