ACGME/AAN Resources
AAN Practice Guidelines
The American Academy of Neurology has developed a series of Practice Guidelines on a variety of topics. Although these documents are not all-inclusive, they are an important resource not only for direct patient care but also as a starting point for educational activities such as journal club.
Other professional societies and organizations offer practice guidelines or consensus statements addressing an array of issues. Residents are encouraged to familiarize themselves with these documents.
AAN Online Learning Programs
Various different programs offered by the AAN. Some are included with your membership, others are discounted because of your membership.
EPearls
The AAN blog “e-Pearls” is a series of weekly series of disease summaries that are <85 words with references for the more interested. It’s a great jumping off point for further learning and a great way to get some snack sized learning when you’re on service. There is a 10-year catalog that you can work through.
