A neurologist completes medical school, then a residency in neurology, and may then undertake additional fellowship training in a subspecialty. Board certification confirms that the training was completed and the examinations passed, and it is verifiable through public directories. It is a reasonable thing to ask about before booking anywhere, and the answer should come back immediately.
Neurology divides into areas including neuromuscular medicine, epilepsy, vascular neurology, headache medicine, movement disorders, cognitive and behavioural neurology, and neurosonology. This is not an academic distinction: the clinician best placed to manage drug-resistant epilepsy is not automatically the one you want for a nerve problem in the hands. At CNS the subspecialties represented include neuromuscular medicine, vascular neurology, epileptology and neurosonology, which is what determines which studies can be interpreted internally.
