Fellow of European Board of Neurointervention

Fellow of European Board of Neurointervention is sponsored by EBNI. Accreditation programme for established neurointerventionists with a minimum of five years of practice, senior clinical or academic position, and publications in peer-reviewed journals.

The European Board of Neuro­intervention The European Board of Neurointervention – EBNI – is a forum for recognition of competence and skills necessary for specialist physicians to master when involved in neurointerventions. The Board was founded in December 2016 as a ad hoc committee of ESMINT but is now an independent society devoted to guidance in teaching, training, practice and accreditation in neurointervention.

EBNI is an independent institution free of any commercial influence. Multidisciplinary approach The treatment of and care for patients in need of neurointerventional therapy is dependent on a wide variety of specialist knowledge including several different neuroscience fields. As a consequence, EBNI is convinced that almost any specialist physician can train to become a neurointerventionist.

EBNI is therefore prepared to accept fellowship in the Board by all skilled and trained neurointerventionists, regardless of underlying specialty. The Board will provide up to date guidelines for teaching and training including examination and practice with the expressed goal of providing safe and best possible treatment and care for patients in need of interventional procedures in the brain, head or spine.

Recognize competence and skills The Board will arrange programs by which peer review is used to ascertain recognition trough accreditation of competence and skills in the already established individual neurointerventionist. The Board will also provide guidelines making it possible for institutions training future neurointerventionists to be regognized as having an EBNI-accredited training program.

Established neurointerventionists The application for established Neurointerventionalist is now closed. We will shortly open the system for other applications.
