Not a member of AAN?

Join a group of more than 22,000 medical specialists committed to promoting the highest quality care of patients with neurological diseases. The AAN offers a variety of membership types, including membership for physicians, medical students, non-physician neurology professionals, and the AAN's esteemed fellowship status. To become an AAN member, please fill out the appropriate membership application.

The Practice section features clinical practice guidelines for both patients and clinicians, patient safety educational initiatives, information on Pay-for-Performance and Medicare's PQRI program. Look for related areas, such as coding and reimbursement, payer relations, and health information technology-and how they can impact your practice.

Neurologic education is one of the AAN's core values. The AAN extends this beyond its membership to K-12 students, college students, medical students, residents, fellows, neurologists in practice and Academia, and non-neurologist physicians. The website's Education section is the place where both members and non-members can learn of the scope and breadth of neurologic education opportunities created and hosted by the AAN. This educational mission is delivered in three main venues: the Annual Meeting, regional meetings, and online.

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. Explore the Advocacy pages to find the information and resources you need to get involved today, and to offer your feedback on how the AAN can assist in your advocacy efforts.
