AAN Sections: Focus Your Interests in Neurology

AAN Sections are groups within the Academy that provide members who have similar subspecialty or special interests and wish to promote the growth and excellence of that area of neurology.

Select a Section

Sections provide a forum for:

• Networking with colleagues
• Discussing selected areas of clinical neurology and the basic neurological sciences

Sections enhance education, research, and patient care by acting as a resource to the AAN and its members by:

• Organizing discussion forums
• Proposing educational programming
• Encouraging research presentation
• Reviewing practice guidelines

Challenge Your Section

The Sports Neurology section successfully hosted a section challenge in conjunction with the Run/Walk for Brain Research in Honolulu, Hawaii. Congratulations to the AAN's Epilepsy Section for having a great turnout of 33 runners for the event!! A trophy will be presented to William Theodore, MD, FAAN, Chair of the Epilepsy Section for leading his section in the challenge. I am pleased to announce that the Sports Neurology Section raised $1,600 for the Run/Walk for Brain Research! Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher as Chair of the Sports Neurology Section will also be honored with a trophy for these efforts to raise money for neurological research. Thank you to all who donated to this worthy cause and participated in this important event!
