Description
This scholarship program, offered by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), is designed for 4th-year US medical students who are AAN members and wish to pursue a neurology visiting student rotation at an LCME/AOA-accredited US medical school or the National Institutes of Health. The intent is to enhance educational opportunities, especially for students from schools lacking required neurology experiences and for those committed to addressing disparities and barriers in neurological care. The scholarship provides financial support to enable hands-on, clinical neurology experiences outside the student's home institution, broadening exposure to neurological care for underserved communities and health inequities.
