SJMMG Headache Specialists Achieve UCNS Certification SJMMG physicians, Timothy Smith, M.D., R.Ph., FACP, and James Banks, Jr., M.D.—both of Mercy Health Research (MHR) and the Ryan Headache Center—recently earned Subspecialty Certification for Headache Medicine through the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties (UCNS). Both physicians were required to demonstrate expertise in clinical management of headache disorders through clinical practice, research activities, contributions to the medical literature and educational pursuits. They then were required to pass a rigorous certification examination administered in September. This is the first time that certification in Headache Medicine has been offered through an accredited certification organization in the United States, making Drs. Smith and Banks among the country’s first clinicians to receive such recognition. The UCNS Headache Medicine certification is currently the only headache management certificate of added qualification to be recognized and endorsed by both the American Academy of Neurology and the American Headache Society. MHR and the Ryan Headache Center have achieved national and international
recognition in the field of headache treatment and research over the past 10
years. The addition of this credential for these two clinicians certainly is
a success story for SJMMG. Please join the medical group in congratulating
Drs. Smith and Banks on their achievement.
