Neurology on the Hill was created in 2003 to give Academy members the chance to meet face-to-face with their representation in Congress and learn about the political process. The first delegation to Washington, DC, was a small, enthusiastic group of 30 neurologists. Since this humble beginning, Neurology on the Hill has steadily grown to now include over 100 participants each year. Since the program's inception, more than 400 Academy members have experienced Washington, DC, and the political process first hand!

Neurology on the Hill attendees will:

• Get an update on current policy issues, such as physician reimbursement and the need for increased funding for neurologic research
• Gain insights from congressional leaders, consultants, and Academy staff about the political process
• Take neurology's message directly to your senators and representative
• Develop working relationships with members of Congress, their staff, and fellow neurologists
