Accrediting Brain Stimulation: The Future of Psychiatry & Neuromodulation with Dr. Shan Siddiqi

Dr. Shan Siddiqi, Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, joins neurocare’s Dr. Trevor Brown to discuss a transformative initiative in the field of brain stimulation. Together, they explore the creation of an accredited subspecialty that unites psychiatry, neurology, and neurosurgery under a standardized training framework.
In this conversation, Dr. Siddiqi shares his journey from neuroimaging research to leading efforts in image-guided brain stimulation. He explains how the Brain Stimulation Society was formed following a summit of over 55 international experts, all committed to legitimizing and formalizing clinical training in TMS, DBS, ECT, and emerging neuromodulation techniques.
They discuss:
• Why accreditation is essential for clinical consistency and legitimacy
• How cross-disciplinary collaboration can accelerate innovation
• The future of personalized TMS and pharmacological augmentation
• Upcoming steps in launching the subspecialty and certification process
