Description
The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) sponsors two Clerkship Director Awards recognizing contributions to neurology education. The awards acknowledge directors who devote substantial time and energy to teaching, often with little support, and who develop curricula, teaching tools, and outcome assessments that enhance medical student learning.
The Clerkship Director Teaching Award recognizes sustained dedication to educating future neurologists and teaching neurology to students pursuing other disciplines. The Clerkship Director Innovation Award recognizes unique tools for teaching medical students, assessing their knowledge, and benchmarking their progress. These are recognition awards rather than project funding, with recipients honored at the Consortium of Neurology Clerkship Directors (CNCD) Business Meeting.
