Member Education
Educating members is the top strategic priority of the AANS. Every year, the AANS offers its members a wide array of courses, covering practice management, oral board preparation, and resident education. Complementing the regular curriculum of on-site courses, the AANS offers innovative online vehicles to obtain CME. This is in addition to the CME credits offered at AANS annual meetings.
The AANS supports the highest level of professional excellence through the American Board of Neurological Surgery’s (ABNS) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. While consistently providing exceptional educational programs as part of the CME aspects of recertification, the AANS also offers the ABNS MOC online application tool and data collection activities.

Famous quotes containing the words member and/or education:
“We live in a highly industrialized society and every member of the Black nation must be as academically and technologically developed as possible. To wage a revolution, we need competent teachers, doctors, nurses, electronics experts, chemists, biologists, physicists, political scientists, and so on and so forth. Black women sitting at home reading bedtime stories to their children are just not going to make it.”
—Frances Beale, African American feminist and civil rights activist. The Black Woman, ch. 14 (1970)
“There must be a profound recognition that parents are the first teachers and that education begins before formal schooling and is deeply rooted in the values, traditions, and norms of family and culture.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
