Description
The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Education Coordinator Recognition Award acknowledges the essential role of coordinators in successful neurology training programs and medical student clerkships. It recognizes creativity and innovation in educational administration, where coordinators navigate annual reporting, evolving program requirements, limited resources, and clinical missions that compete with education for time and resources.
The award focuses on contributions that enhance medical education, promote communication among coordinators, program directors, faculty, and trainees, and deliver important program improvements. It recognizes the people supporting neurology education rather than funding a research project. Recipients receive certificates and are acknowledged at the Consortium of Neurology Education Coordinators Business Meeting.
