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.
The AAN supports neurologic research, scientific inquiry, information sharing, and quality education. For neurologists, the
peer-reviewed weekly journal Neurology(R), self-study publication Continuum, and other offerings promote
lifelong learning and enhanced patient care. Patients, families, and caregivers draw inspiration from the Neurology Now
magazine and get facts about neurologic disorders and treatments from evidence-based guideline summaries and clearly-written
education books. From the exam room to the living room, the AAN offers print and online resources for everyone.
The American Academy of Neurology Foundation (AAN Foundation) is an independent 501(c)(3)
organization affiliated with the AAN.
Our Mission: The Foundation exists to further the goals of the American Academy of
Neurology by supporting education and research in neurology, and is dedicated to improving
