AAN EXCELLENCE–DELIVERED UNCONVENTIONALLY
"
In 2021, the American Academy of Neurology has the unique opportunity to offer an innovative and exciting Annual Meeting curriculum encompassing education, science, professional development, and wellness in a convenient virtual format that can be accessed widely and personalized to individual attendee needs. The meeting will truly represent the excellence you’ve come to expect from the AAN, delivered in a new and unconventional way. As we reimagine the Annual Meeting, the Academy will push the boundaries, as it does each year, of what a medical meeting can be. I am beyond excited to see the Academy provide much needed programming in a novel manner during these unusual times and foster connections across the US and around the world virtually.
"
A preliminary look at this excellent programming can be found on the following pages, alongside information about the tremendous value of meeting registration. I encourage you to peruse to see what’s in store, and I look forward to seeing you—virtually—this April!

CONFERENCE GUIDELINES The following are guidelines for AAN conferences. Unless specified, these guidelines apply to all AAN conference formats. In addition to the below guidelines, participation in a virtual AAN meeting is subject to AAN’s Privacy Policy. All individuals engaged in any virtual meeting are subject to the AAN.com Code of Conduct, unless otherwise specifically noted. Use of the website and virtual program site(s) is subject to AAN’s Terms of Use. These conference policies are subject to change without notice, at AAN’s discretion. Any changes will be reflected on AAN.com/conferences-community/conference-guidelines/. Accreditation/CME ACCME Accreditation The American Academy of Neurology Institute (AANI) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The AANI holds Accreditation with Commendation, the ACCME highest level of recognition for a CME provider. View the CME Mission Statement on AAN.com. AMA Credit Designation The AANI designates this live activity for a maximum of (*) AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. *See individual program descriptions on AAN.com/21AM for the maximum number of credits per program. Claiming CME To claim CME hours, attendees must complete program evaluations. AAN members can access their transcript via NeuroTracker™ at AAN.com/view/NeuroTracker six to eight weeks following the applicable AAN conference. Certificates for Non-physicians Non-physicians participating in AAN programming will receive an acknowledgement of participation indicating attendance at an activity designated for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. ABPN Statement The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology has reviewed the relevant AAN conference and has approved the program as a part of a comprehensive lifelong learning program, which is mandated by the ABMS as a necessary component of continuing certification. AMA CME Definition/Educational Content of Certified CME The AMA HOD and the Council on Medical Education have defined continuing medical education as follows: CME consists of educational activities which serve to maintain, develop, or increase the knowledge, skills, and professional performance and relationships that a physician uses to provide services for patients, the public, or the profession. The content of CME is the body of knowledge and skills generally recognized and accepted by the profession as within the basic medical sciences, the discipline of clinical medicine, and the provision of health care to the public. (HOD policy #300.988) AAN.com/21AM

CONFERENCE GUIDELINES Definition of Certified CME • Nonpromotional learning activities certified for credit prior to the activity by an organization authorized by the credit system owner, or • Nonpromotional learning activities for which the credit system owner directly awards credit Accredited CME providers may certify nonclinical subjects (e.g., office management, patient-physician communications, or faculty development) for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ as long as these are appropriate to a physician audience and benefit the profession, patient care, or public health. CME activities may describe or explain complementary and alternative health care practices. As with any CME activity, these need to include discussion of the existing level of scientific evidence that supports the practices. However, education that advocates specific alternative therapies or teaches how to perform associated procedures, without scientific evidence or general acceptance among the profession that supports their efficacy and safety, cannot be certified for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. Content Validation The AANI, as an ACCME accredited provider, is responsible for validating the clinical content of CME activities that it provides. Specifically, (1) all the recommendations involving clinical medicine in a CME activity must be based on evidence that is accepted within the profession of medicine as adequate justification for their indications and contraindications in the care of patients and (2) all scientific research referred to, reported, or used in CME in support or justification of a patient care recommendation must conform to the generally accepted standards of experimental design, data collection, and analysis.
Disclaimer/Disclosures Disclaimer The primary purpose of the AAN/AANI program is to meet the educational needs of its members and address practice gaps by providing practice-oriented and scientifically based educational activities that will maintain and advance competence and performance in the field of neurology. A diversity of opinions exists in the medical field and the views of the conference faculty do not represent those of the AAN/AANI or constitute endorsement by the AAN/AANI. The AAN/AANI disclaims any and all liability for the claims that may result from the use or nonuse of information, publications, therapies, and/or services discussed during its conferences. The activities conducted, and content distributed, during the AAN/AANI conference are for educational purposes only and do not constitute or substitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. EEGs, examples of neurologic exams, and other activities conducted during conferences are not for diagnostic or treatment purposes, do not establish a patient-physician relationship, do not constitute the practice of medicine, and are not conclusive as to the absence or presence of any health condition. The AAN/AANI does not recommend or endorse any specific physicians, products, procedures, opinions, or other information that may be mentioned. Reliance on any information provided is solely at participant’s own risk. The AAN/AANI is not liable to any participant or anyone else for any decision made or action taken by based on reliance upon the information provided during the program.

Liability Participant assumes any and all liability associated with participation in AAN/AANI educational activities, and releases the American Academy of Neurology, the American Academy of Neurology Institute, and their contractors from any claims that may arise. The AAN/AANI is not liable for any claims whatsoever for personal injury, illness, death, or damages of any kind as a result of or caused by participation. Participation is voluntary. Faculty Disclosure of Commercial Relationships Consistent with the AAN/AANI and ACCME policies, faculty must disclose any relevant financial relationship with the manufacturer(s) discussed in their presentation, so that learners may form their own judgments about material discussed during the educational activity. Full disclosure of faculty’s commercial relationships will appear in the individual program materials or in the AAN Conferences mobile app. Unlabeled Use Disclosure The AANI requires all faculty members to disclose if a product is not labeled for the use being discussed or that the product is still investigational. Such disclosures will appear in the individual program materials. Grants Some education and scientific programs are supported in part by educational grants from commercial entities. Although educational grants are received, all programs are developed and implemented solely by the AANI/AAN. The terms, conditions, and purposes of the commercial support are documented in a written agreement between the AAN/AANI and commercial supporter. Disclosure of educational grants will occur in one or more of the following formats: through acknowledgment statements on the program materials, signs outside of the room, verbally from the podium, through acknowledgment statements on the program webpage, or an announcement at the start of the virtual video.
