Two Credentials, One Pathway

Choose Your Credential Path

CAGEN-approved, preparing candidates for two distinct professional credentials
recognized across the United States and internationally.
CAGEN Approved · DACNB

Chiropractic Neurology Diplomate

Board-certified specialty credential recognized by all 50 US state
legislative bodies and the American Chiropractic Association.
Estatblishes competency in neurology within chiropractic practice.
ACFN Recognized · FACFN

Functional Neurology Fellowship

Multi-disciplinary professional distinction offered by the American
College of Functional Neurology. Recognizes advanced training in
functional neurology assessment and rehabilitation applications.

When neurological
findings don't add up, uncertainty shouldn't be
the reason you refer out

For many clinicians, neurological findings remain fragmented — an isolated finding here, a vague complaint there — without a framework to connect them.

When findings don't point to a clear structural cause, uncertainty takes over. Cases get referred out. Patients keep searching.

The CNS Curriculum was built to close that gap — permanently.

ACFN Recognized Pathway

What Changes

By the end of this course, you'll be able to...

Every course is built around clinical application — capabilities you carry into practice on Monday morning.

01

Conduct a comprehensive functional neurological examination

A structured protocol you can apply to any patient, any presentation.

02

Stop referring out of uncertainty — refer out of choice

Know exactly which cases belong in your practice. That distinction changes everything.

03

Design individualized neurological rehabilitation programs

Patient-specific plans grounded in examination findings and neurophysiological principles.

04

Interpret neuroradiology relevant to your clinical findings

Read MRI and CT in context. Communicate confidently with referring neurologists.

05

Manage the patients no one else can figure out

Post-concussion, dysautonomia, dizziness — these patients become your most loyal advocates.

06

Become the referral destination in your market

MDs, PTs, and concussion clinics refer to board-certified functional neurologists.

07

Sit for your board examinations

305 credit hours — exceeding the 300-hour minimum — with depth far beyond meeting the threshold.

08

Apply measurable, documentable outcomes

Objective neurological examination findings — defensible, compelling, differentiating.
