IONM ABRET Recognition

SpecialtyCare is First IONM Provider to Gain ABRET Recognition

In January, the ABRET Neurodiagnostic Credentialing and Accreditation Board recognized SpecialtyCare’s Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) Training Program with formal Neurophysiologic Intraoperative Monitoring (NIOM) program status. This makes SpecialtyCare one of only two training programs, and the sole clinical services provider, to achieve this recognition. With approval as a recognized program, our surgical neurophysiology (SNI) trainees gain Pathway IV eligibility for ABRET’s Certification in Neurophysiologic Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (CNIM) testing.

ABRET recognition is an important milestone for our SNI training, and it reinforces our ability to meet the overarching goal of our program, which is to increase patient safety, improve patient outcomes, and reduce healthcare costs by providing surgeons and their teams with highly trained and certified surgical neurophysiologists.

In recent years, ABRET has shifted away from exclusive on-job training and increased emphasis on formalized training by requiring nationally recognized coursework for exam eligibility. Knowing that purely on-job training is seldom organized well enough to produce measurable outcomes, we too focus on formalized training and performance-based metrics that assure consistency in the quality of our graduates.
