III) Novel Accreditation Process

In support of international differences in training, culture, and regulation, the ICPNT created
a formal yet novel accreditation process (Figure 2). The application process is divided into two
main stages. The first stage includes a Formative submission by the program for the ICPNT to
provide feedback on how to improve the application based on the core curriculum competencies.
The second stage is a Summative evaluation that provides the program with official accreditation
if approved. As depicted in Figure 2, there are three categories of accreditation:

● A1 is 5 years - Strong program, criteria are fully met.
● A2 is 3 years - Minor deficiencies are expected to be addressed to meet full criteria.
● A3 is 1 year - Deficiencies are major and can be met with significant effort.

IV) Neuroanesthesiology Fellowship Curriculum

The fellowship should last at least one year with six mandatory adult neurosurgical operating
room modules ( 4 weeks + 1 module), one module in interventional neuroradiology, one research
and scholarship module, one critical care module, principles of neuromonitoring module, and
elective modules such as pediatric neuroanesthesiology (Figure 3).
