To assist migraine sufferers and their families, the Migraine Research Foundation is providing a list of doctors who have been certified in Headache Medicine by The United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties (UCNS), an independent, non-profit, professional medical organization.
The primary mission of UCNS is to accredit training programs in neurologic sub-specialties and to certify competence in physicians who have passed a special headache examination.
The Migraine Research Foundation applauds the work of UCNS to enhance the quality of headache training that benefits both doctors and patients. For more information on UCNS visit www.ucns.org.
