Sports Neurology Section

The Sports Neurology section of the AAN is dedicated to raising the awareness of sports specific issues within the field of Neurology and promoting the involvement of Neurologists in clinical care, education, and research. Through our efforts, we strive to improve the neurological care of athletes at all levels. Section activities also focus on building relationships with various non-neurological Sports Medicine societies and institutions so that we may better effect change at the public health level.
