esT Possible cARe 2006 was a year of education accomplishments for the AAN and its members. The process for defining the educational offerings at the Annual Meeting was streamlined and aligned with evolving Maintenance of Certification (MOC) concepts. The design of the regional conferences was refined in response to member feedback. Key initiatives in web-based resources and educational opportunities matured. Importantly, communication has been enhanced with the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology regarding the AAN’s support of its membership in meeting the MOC requirements and the Neurology Residency Review Council in refining and meeting resident training requirements. This work will help ensure that AAN members continue to have the necessary training they need to provide the best possible care for their patients. PhysiciAn educATion — Barney J.

A C C O M P L I S H M E N T S • REGIONAL CONFERENCES REVAMPED. Regional conferences were offered in January in Las Vegas and October in Washington, DC. The conferences were dramatically changed during the summer of 2006 to appeal to more members with new programming options. For the event in Washington, DC, additional programming included a dystonia workshop, a half-day update program on multiple sclerosis, an evening epilepsy therapy program, new programs for BRAINS members, and a colloquium on the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Clinical Research Collaboration (NINDS CRC). • NEW ONLINE EDuCATION RESOuRCE DEBuTS. The AAN launched the Virtual Annual Meeting, providing access to more than 50 programs and 240 hours of content captured at the meeting, including Plenary Sessions, Education Programs, and Therapy Programs. These webcasts- on-demand provide access to programs attendees missed, and enable members who could not attend the meeting the opportunity to experience it in their home or office. • SuPPORT FOR EDuCATION RESEARCH. Two education research grants were awarded in this new program to promote education research in neurology, improve neurology education, and promote career development of educators in the specialty. • THE RITE CHANGES. The Residency In-service Training Examination for residents was enhanced with a new preparation “blueprint,” improved questions, and revised scoring. Contemporary Issues, a new specialty section, posed questions on core competencies, ethics/professionalism, HIPAA, driving, end-of-life/palliative care, and the business of neurology. • MENTORSHIP PROGRAM LAuNCHED. A new Mentorship Program will improve recruitment of trainees into neurology by fostering mentorships with neurologists and provide access, perspective, and advice for trainees considering neurology as a career and residents considering specific subspecialties in neurology, especially for those trainees at an institution in which neurology or a subspecialty of interest is not adequately represented. The Mentorship Program will have a positive effect on neurology and members because it provides a mechanism for networking and growth within the field.
