American Board of Neurophysiologic Monitoring

The purpose of the ABNM is to certify the professional competency of doctoral-level practitioners to independently oversee and interpret intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring and provide patient management recommendations during surgery.

To earn the DABNM credential, candidates must meet education and neuromonitoring experience requirements and pass both written and oral examinations.
