This educational mission is delivered in three main venues: the Annual Meeting, regional meetings, and online.

Science Highlights

The Science section contains AAN resources relevant to the academic neurologist and to those who follow scientific developments in neurology, whether basic, translational, or purely clinical. The section contains information regarding AAN scientific awards and training grants, news and resources related to the NINDS, and information related to the AAN Science Committee and its role in planning the scientific aspects of the AAN Annual Meeting.

The Academy gives members the tools, training, and assistance they need to change American health policy for the better, often in collaboration with local, national, and international medical and patient organizations.
