He served as a delegate to the American Medical Association House of Delegates and represented neurology on the AMA's Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) Advisory Panel and Relative Value Scale Update Committee (RUC).
He served as president of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society, and the American Society for Neurological Investigation.
Research Nuwer's research focuses on the application of neurophysiological techniques to improve neurological diagnosis and prevent injury to the brain and spinal cord. His work also focuses on electroencephalography, evoked potentials, epilepsy monitoring, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, and critical care neurophysiology. He was the first neurologist to set up an intraoperative evoked potential monitoring service.
