Mission Statement
The mission of the North American Neuromodulation Society’s Education Committee is to promote and maintain the highest levels of care for the therapeutic modalities we use to help people afflicted from a variety of neurological conditions. We create and support learning opportunities for neuromodulators, through written, virtual, and practical teaching sessions that improve awareness of recommended standards in safety and efficacy. Through continual efforts by esteemed faculty and the top practitioners in our field from around the world, we review and expand upon the knowledge base for the field. Promoting innovation through clinical research and technological advancement helps to ensure improvement of treatment for the future.

NANS and CNS are excited to announce the launch of two new online products. These comprehensive SANS exams cover neuromodulation and its applications to spine stimulation techniques, patient selection and indications, practice management and integration, and the alignment of neuromodulation direction, guidelines, and goals within the community. Both exams are $75 for members and non-members. If you are not a CNS member, create a non-member account to access the exams. Exam I provides 25 questions to establish a baseline of neuromodulation knowledge. Exam II is 25 questions evaluating knowledge gained from the additional NANS certification curriculum.
Recorded at the 2017 NANS Annual Meeting, the Spinal Cord Stimulation Learning Modules feature audio synchronized to the presenter’s slides/visual presentation. Members can view the presentations here.
The NANS Education Committee is committed to promoting the highest standards of care for the therapeutic modalities we use to help people afflicted from a variety of neurological conditions and our mission to create learning opportunities for neuromodulators. The NANS Education Committee worked with leaders and experts from around the world to produce and record the educational modules listed here.
The NANS Education Committee has put together a resource on coding, billing, and medical necessity in regards to SCS, PNS, and programming. This is a valuable resource for anyone with questions on the most accurate billing practice. NANS members can view the presentation here.
WIKISTIM is a searchable database being populated with data published in the field of neuromodulation. The goals of WIKISTIM are to improve patient care and the quality of research reports, foster communication, reveal research needs, and support the practice of evidence–based medicine.
