Description
The American Academy of Neurology’s Medical Student Diversity Scholarship supports medical students in the United States in attending the AAN Annual Meeting. It provides an opportunity to explore careers in neurology and connect with mentors while addressing systemic barriers that limit access for groups underrepresented in medicine. The program supports students who demonstrate a particular commitment to reducing disparities in neurologic care, improving access, and addressing barriers to care among underserved communities.
Recipients receive travel and hotel support, mentorship from an established neurologist, and a tailored meeting itinerary. Students select educational and scientific programming suited to their learning needs, provided those selections do not conflict with the scholarship program agenda. Participation also includes required Annual Meeting events.
