European Board of Neurointerventionists (EBNI)
In December 2016, the Executive Committee of ESMINT decided to form a European Board of Neurointerventionists. The purpose of this Board is to provide a forum for the recognition of necessary competence for specialist physicians involved in neurointerventions.
The Board will provide guidelines for training, including examination and practice, with the expressed goal of providing the safe and best possible treatment and care for patients in need of interventional procedures in the brain, head or spine. The Board will also find a way to recognise the competence and skills of individual neurointerventionists. The Board will provide guidelines for institutions training future neurointerventionists and accredit such institutions.
Among its members the Board will include specialists from various backgrounds within neurosciences who are respected neurointerventionists, and also other specialists who have gained expertise and proficiency in this area.
