Consortium of Neurology Clerkship Directors Innovation Award
The AAN Neurology Clerkship Directors Innovation Award is intended to acknowledge innovation and creativity in neurology clerkship directors. Clerkship Directors are dedicated educators who devote considerable time and energy to this task, often with little support. Many directors have developed unique tools and instruments to teach medical students, to assess knowledge, and benchmark progress.
Consortium of Neurology Clerkship Directors Teaching Award
This award is intended to acknowledge the educational efforts of neurology clerkship directors. Clerkship Directors are dedicated teachers who devote considerable time and energy to this task, often with little support. Many directors have developed extensive curricula, teaching tools, and outcome assessments to enhance neurology education.
Medical Student Prize for Excellence
The American Academy of Neurology’s Undergraduate Education Subcommittee (UES) is committed to promoting neurology as a specialty and as a potential career among undergraduate medical students. The UES sponsors The AAN Medical Student Prize for Excellence in Neurology to recognize graduating medical students for excellence in clinical neurology. This prize, in the amount of $200, is awarded to one graduating medical student from each medical school. The check and a certificate will be sent to you to present to the student on behalf of the AAN during your institution's graduation/awards ceremony.
Medical Student Summer Research Scholarship
The AAN will award up to twenty $3,000 scholarships to first- or second-year medical students who are current AAN members, and who have a supporting preceptor and a project with clearly defined goals. Third year AAN medical student members who are on an official summer break will also be considered with accompanying documentation. The project is to be conducted through a U.S. or Canadian institution of the student's choice and jointly designed by the student and sponsoring institution. Only applicants from schools with established SIGN chapters are eligible to apply. More than one student from an institution may apply, but only one student will be selected from an institution.
Program Director Recognition Award
The Program Director Recognition Award is intended to acknowledge excellence on behalf of neurology program directors. Program directors face many challenges in administering a residency program. The time has come to recognize individuals whose leadership, creativity, and innovation, is crucial in ensuring the future of Neurology.
