Toronto Accommodation Options Available to Students
The AAN has set aside rooms at the Courtyard by Marriott Downtown, the Delta Chelsea and the Strathcona for residents, fellows and medical students. If you still require accommodations in a lower price range, there are also three youth hostels in Toronto you may want to consider: Hostelling International Toronto Youth, Canada Back Packers and Global Village. Please note that the AAN does not have rooms held at these locations nor have the facilities been inspected by the AAN or their Housing Agent, Convention Management Resources (CMR). The AAN and CMR do not endorse or accept liability if you choose to make a reservation at a youth hostel.
Resident-Approved PDA Software
Palm and Pocket PC handhelds are available now at the AAN PDA Center, along with select software programs that have been reviewed and approved by neurology residents. Software programs available include Cochrane Reviews, eMedicine Neurology, Epocrates, Massachusetts General Hospital Handbook of Neurology, Merritt's Neurology Handbook, and the Washington Manual Neurology Survival Guide. Learn more or call (800)462-0388.
AAN Student Discounts on Epocrates
Member students, residents, and fellows receive a 50% discount on software-only purchases directly from Epocrates. Just log in and your discount on selected products will appear in the cart at checkout.
Neurology® Page for Residents/Fellows
The Resident and Fellow Page has been introduced in Neurology as a primarily online feature to serve neurology trainees. This section centralizes information that is of particular interest to residents and fellows and supports the development of lifelong learning skills. Upcoming features include a video library of classic and atypical neurological findings.
The editorial team, which includes residents and fellows from around the country, invites submissions of articles as well as short video clips. Submission instructions can be found here.
Introduction to Diagnostic Coding: A Resident's Guide to ICD-9-CM
The AAN has developed a coding resource for program directors to provide to residents. Developed by the Resident Products & Services Workgroup, the multimedia presentation introduces residents to diagnostic coding. View the presentation.
To share feedback about the presentation or for more information about the workgroup's projects, please contact Amanda Bettmann at abettmann@aan.com or (651) 695-2718.
Online Access to Continuum: Lifelong Learning in Neurology
Medical student members receive free online access to current and back issues of Continuum: Lifelong Learning in Neurology, the AAN's premier CME self-study program. In addition, one print issue a year will be mailed each fall, beginning in October 2009. Medical student members also have online access to Quintessentials, a practice-based program published in two issues of Continuum a year.
