Guide to AAN.com

Introduction

Trying to get information from the Internet is like trying to drink water from a fire hose. For neurologists, the problem is not accessing information, but in retrieving relevant information, information that is pertinent to the practice of neurology.

There has been no singular source that provides neurologists with news, information, and resources on demand. Until now. The American Academy of Neurology has recently revamped its website. We hope that the newly redesigned and revitalized website will be the gateway to electronic information that can improve the practice of neurology.

The new AAN.com is a one-stop portal for breaking news in neurology, and resources to help run your practice, maintain CME, and exchange information with other neurology professionals. The new AAN website has been completely redesigned with user-friendly navigation, new features, and the ability to customize content to individual preferences. As the site grows, products and services will be added based on member feedback and needs.

Editorial Board

An editorial board of neurologists oversees the site. The editors are practicing physicians. They aim to bring features and tools to help you keep up-to-date with news and information in our field, meet your CME requirements, assist you in coding, billing, and reimbursement, and find out how legislation is affecting us all. The goal is to launch new items on a regular basis including columns, editorials, and educational services.
