The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) presents this award to recognize outstanding service by a practitioner working in a private practice setting. It honors contributions to the Academy rather than funding a research study or project.
The award acknowledges the unique value private practitioners bring to the AAN and the personal and professional sacrifices that extensive volunteer service can involve, including giving up compensation, family time, or vacation time. The recipient receives an honorary plaque and public recognition at the AAN Annual Meeting and in AAN member publications.
