Academy Offers Free Advocacy Training to Members Ready to Take Action in Their Communities
Are you concerned about the care for neurology patients in your community and the future of your profession? Do you have ideas how to improve delivery of quality care, or strengthen the viability of neurology in your state?
If so, the AAN encourages you to apply for the award-winning 2011 Donald M. Palatucci Advocacy Leadership Forum, to be held January 13 to 16 at the Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego, CA. Tell us about your advocacy issue and why you want to be its champion. If selected, you will learn how to create an effective action plan and how to work with your state legislators and local media.
Palatucci Forum graduates have successfully advocated for new stroke care centers and time-saving telemedicine initiatives. They have fought for patients to have access to a wider range of antiepileptic drugs, against scope of practice intrusions, and for medical liability reform. Many of these neurologists had no prior experience, but they quickly gained confidence and skills through this comprehensive award-winning program.
This advocacy leadership training is supported in part by an educational grant from UCB, Inc.
