Get Active

The Academy offers several exciting opportunities for members to get active in advocating for their patients and their profession.

  • The Donald M. Palatucci Advocacy Leadership Forum is an award winning advocacy training experience for neurologists who want to learn how to be effective advocates in their communities.
  • Neurology on the Hill gives members the opportunity to visit Washington, DC, learn about issues affecting the practice of neurology, and then go to the Capitol to make their case to their elected representatives and congressional staffs.
  • The Kenneth M. Viste, Jr., MD, Neurology Public Policy Fellowship enables one select neurology professional to work for one year on health policy issues in Washington, DC.
  • Vocus is advocacy made easy. In just minutes, members can use Vocus to directly contact their state and federal legislators by email and share their opinions on health care policy issues.
