Junior – a graduate of an accredited medical/osteopathic school who is completing training in a neurology residency program or a Ph.D. student completing post-doctoral research training.
Advanced Care Practitioner – A non-physician practitioner (NP, PA, or RN) who devotes a majority of their time to the practice of neurology.
Researcher – a professional who has dedicated his/her career to the advancement of neuroscience through research.
Physician Affiliate – a physician in a specialty other than neurology or a professional practicing in a specialty related to neurology. This level of membership has both United States and International categories.
Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology (FAAN) – The highest and most respected class of membership is awarded to selected board-certified neurologists and research neuroscientists who have demonstrated high achievements in teaching, clinical practice, administration and/or research. Awarding of Fellowship status is based on a multi-step process involving nominations from current Fellows, a rigorous review of the nomination by the AAN Membership Application Review Subcommittee and endorsement of the AAN Executive Committee. Fellows carry the post-nominal title "FAAN" (not to be confused with "FAAN" status granted by the American Academy of Nursing). The Fellow status has both International and United States subcategories. Fellows practicing outside the United States or Canada are referred to as Corresponding Fellows.
Activitiesedit
Annual meetingedit
The annual meeting of the AAN is attended by more than 15,000 neurologists and neuroscientists from the US and abroad. The American Academy of Neurology has formal policies for avoiding conflicts of interest with pharmaceutical and device industries, and meets or exceeds all recommendations of the Council of Medical Specialty Societies Code.[3]
The AAN partnered with the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation and Consumer Reports to provide their top 5 recommendations for neurologists. Out of 178 nominations from AAN members, these 5 guidelines were selected by a panel of 4 AAN Staff and 10 experienced AAN members who voted according to a modified Delphi method.[4] The guidelines were published in Neurology on February 20, 2013.
