About
Annual Meeting and Regional Conferences: The 2019 Annual Meeting took place in Philadelphia, which hosted a record of nearly 15,000 people from more than 100 countries who experienced a meeting featuring more than 250 education programs, 3,000 scientific presentations, seven plenary sessions, and over 250 lively and interactive Experiential Learning Area presentations. The energetic buzz for the meeting was established by an Opening Party at the Reading Terminal Market. The AANI gave back to the local Philadelphia community in the form of the Brain Health Fair, which had more than 2,500 attendees. In addition to connecting with nearly 300 exhibitors, attendees engaged in more than 16,000 Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook posts resulting in 85.5 million impressions across the platforms. The Sports Concussion Conference was held in Indianapolis, IN, and was attended by nearly 450 neurologists, athletic trainers, non-neurologist physicians, and others involved in the management of concussion in sports. They came together to learn about and share expertise on the latest concussion prevention, diagnosis, and treatment developments via a mix of lectures and a hands-on boot camp. A record number of 86 abstracts were presented at the conference, and the AANI partnered with the NCAA to host an attendee reception in the NCAA Hall of Champions. The Fall Conference, offered in Las Vegas in October, had more than 750 neurology professionals seeking the year-end opportunity to learn the latest clinical advances in neurology and earn up to 15.25 CME. In addition to a series of Neurology Update programs, practice management programs, and popular scientific sessions and clinical courses programming from the 2019 Annual Meeting, a new one-day Advanced Practice Provider Pre-conference focused on clinical topics geared toward new APP graduates, those transitioning to neurology, and those in need of the latest clinical updates. More than 170 people attended the inaugural APP Pre-Conference. The 2018-2019 academic year saw the new framework for the Student Interest Group in Neurology (SIGN), which launched with great success. The AANI registered 122 SIGN chapters and their members. There were 19 international SIGN chapters in 11 countries. Registered chapters could sign up to receive a SIGN swag box to use at events or for promotions. Through the registration efforts, we've identified over 3,000 SIGN members. The annual registration and status update allow the AANI to stay in better communication with SIGN chapters longitudinally. The AANI applauds the 2020 Research Program recipients who were selected in 2019. There were 147 applications for the 2020 program. The AANI is proud to fund and offer the Career Development Award, Clinical Research Training Scholarship, Practice Research Training Scholarships, and Neuroscience Research Training Scholarships. Through partnership with the American Brain Foundation, 11 voluntary health associations provide funding to research in the 2020 funding portfolio. After finishing their AANI grant, most recipients receive additional major funding and bring hope to the future of research. To help promote diversity in research, the AANI has partnered with the Medical University of South Carolina and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) to implement a diversity in research grant named TRANSCENDS (Training in Research for Academic Neurologists to Sustain Careers and Enhance the Number of Diverse Scholars). The grant is for a five-year period and provides research training, AAN membership opportunities, and professional development to early-career academic neurologists from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups in the field of neurology, or with disabilities. Up to six individuals per year are selected for the grant, and six scholars were selected in 2017 and 2018. The 2019 class (Cohort 3) of TRANSCENDS Scholars was selected in November 2018 and was formally welcomed and oriented to the program at the 2019 Annual Meeting. The Cohort 4 Scholars were identified in the fall of 2019. The AANI again offered 60 Medical Student Annual Meeting Scholarships since the increase in 2018. Preference for the scholarships is given to SIGN chapter presidents or a designated SIGN representative to help stimulate students' interest in pursuing the field of neurology by offering them the opportunity to attend the Annual Meeting. The recipients attended a variety of education and scientific programming, met leaders in neurology, and networked with other medical students, residents, and neurologists. The Medical Student Member Group on Synapse currently has 3,168 members. This online venue provides students a forum for sharing topics of interest and learning about opportunities offered by the AANI. To aid in pipeline efforts, the AANI annually awards visiting student scholarships to 20 third- and fourth-year medical students to support any away rotation within the field of neurology. Between July and December, recipients were provided consultation and outpatient elective experience and an opportunity to network with neurologists across the United States, outside of their own programs that do not offer neurology rotations. The overall purpose of the Medical Student Diversity Program is to provide opportunity and access to neurology to medical students from underrepresented groups in medicine, with the objective to make neurology a more attractive career option. The program comprises the Medical Student Diversity Scholarship, the Visiting Medical Student Diversity Scholarship, and the Visiting Professor Diversity Program. Medical Student Diversity Scholarship This scholarship supported 10 medical students who attended the Annual Meeting in Philadelphia. Visiting Medical Student Diversity Scholarship To aid in pipeline and diversity efforts, the AANI awarded visiting student scholarships to 10 third- and fourth-year medical students in 2019 to support any away rotation within the field of neurology that took place between July and December. Visiting Professor Diversity Program The Visiting Professor component provides an opportunity for an AANI-selected neurology professor who identifies as a member of an underrepresented racial or ethnic group in medicine to visit a medical school that does not have a required neurology clerkship. The visiting professor participates in grand rounds, assists with neurology patient rounds and clinic, and the visited program is welcome to arrange other events over two days to facilitate conversations, lectures, or presentations with the visiting professor. The primary goal of the visit is to offer important exposure to neurology and diversity for medical students. The AANI Education Research Work Group provides grants and fellowships to improve the quality of educational programs for all neuroscience professionals by promoting career development. In 2019, the Education Research Program awarded three Education Research Grants and one Medical Education Research Training Fellowship totaling $94,500. The purpose of these opportunities is to promote education research. Large shifts in the landscape of the health care industry have led to a gap between the skills that health care leaders possess and the skills their organizations need. This gap is largely felt by physician leaders whose medical education has traditionally focused on developing excellent clinical skills, but not the fundamental leadership skills needed to advance their organizations in this changing industry. To meet these challenges, the AANI makes member leadership development an organizational priority. The Academy strives to train members through varying leadership development programs, to support and prepare them for desired leadership roles, and assist them in achieving their desired level of leadership potential throughout their careers, to ultimately increase patient and physician satisfaction and improved clinical outcomes. Since 2014, the AANI has expanded its leadership offerings by developing customized programs to address specific priority areas such as advocacy, diversity, and physician wellness, as well as to support members throughout their career. The following leadership programs address these needs: * Director Mentorship * Diversity Leadership * Emerging Leaders * Practice Leadership * Transforming Leaders * Women Leading in Neurology * Enhanced Resident Leadership * Live Well, Lead Well * Medical Student Diversity * Palatucci Advocacy Leadership
