Overview

Mission

To administer examinations for certification in electroencephalography; general clinical neurophysiology; epilipsy monitoring; critical care-eeg monitoring; and intraoperative monitoring.

What it reported doing in 2024

The abcn exists to enhance the quality of patient care and to encourage cost containment by evaluating the ability of physicians to use appropriately clinical neurophysiological studies to examine the function of the nervous system in patients with neurological, psychiatric, or general medical disorders. This is achieved by offering certification of training experience and knowledge to those involved in clinical neurophysiology. Abcn administered 49 subspecialty examinations in clinical neurophysiology in 2024 and renewed 34 certificants.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and liabilities are high compared with assets.
