Fellows. Activities Annual meeting 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. Top five Choosing Wisely recommendations 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. The guidelines were published in Neurology on February 20, 2013. Don't perform EEGs for headaches. Don't perform imaging of the carotid arteries for simple syncope without other neurologic symptoms. Don't use opioid or butalbital treatment for migraine except as a last resort. Don't prescribe interferon-beta or glatiramer acetate to patients with disability from progressive, non-relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. Disrecommend for asymptomatic carotid stenosis unless the complication rate is low (<3%). Publications AAN publishes the following publications: Neurology – the flagship journal of the American Academy of Neurology, features the latest peer-reviewed original clinical research articles, AAN position papers and clinical guidelines, editorials, and reviews that enhance the field of neurology and influence patient care. The online version contains complete content; the print version contains short data-filled summaries of the research articles. The Impact Factor of the journal is 12.258. Neurology Clinical Practice – focuses mainly on two aspects of neurologic care: 1) Clinical research on patient-reported outcomes and quality, including original research articles and meta-analyses/systematic reviews; and 2) Commentaries, reviews, and research articles on general practice, billing and coding, wellness and burnout, diversity and inclusion in the workplace, telehealth, health care policy, and financial management. Neurology Education – an online-only, open access journal in the field of neurologic and neuroscience education research. Original research articles, reviews, and editorials on evidence-based teaching methods and curriculum innovations aim to provide the academic community with a forum to exchange ideas that enhance teaching and training. Neurology Genetics – an online-only, open-access journal publishing peer-reviewed reports in the area of neurogenetics that elucidate the role of genetic and epigenetic variations in diseases and biological traits of the central and peripheral nervous systems. The journal’s Impact Factor is 3.663.
