Presented by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and funded by the Mayo Clinic Frank A. Rubino, MD Development Fund, this award honors exceptional clinical neurology educators. Named in memory of Frank A. Rubino, MD, it recognizes clinicians who devote their practice to seeing patients and teaching clinical neurology, demonstrating clinical acumen, sound judgment, professionalism, and effective communication with patients and caregivers.
The award emphasizes the fundamentals of clinical neurological education: neurological history-taking, examination, localization, and judicious use of confirmatory tests. It recognizes sustained teaching excellence across the health care system and contributions to neurologic education locally or nationally. National educator recognition is not required.
