Cultivating Leaders. Building Neurology's Future. 

From personal development opportunities to transformational career pathways, the AAN is here to guide leadership growth. Our commitment to helping members expand their leadership potential at every stage of their career--from medical school to retirement--has never been stronger. From opportunities in intensive leadership programs to full-day leadership university courses, the AAN and its industry partners are building neurology's future by educating and cultivating the next generation of leaders. 

"It was exceptionally rewarding to be able to share with industry partners how amazing the Diversity Leadership Program has been. The investment the Academy and its industry partners are making in the Leadership programs indicates not only that they are truly committed to building the neurology leaders of tomorrow but also including diversity within the Academy. This has been so impressive and I am truly grateful for this opportunity."
