It

gives me great pleasure to tell you about our 69th AAN Annual Meeting coming to beautiful, historic Boston. We changed the entire format and feel of the 2016 meeting in Vancouver, with a focus on serving attendees in new and invaluable ways. Attendees took notice, and the excitement in the air was palpable. For 2017, we have further developed this vision and have added even more changes to the program. As always, you can expect top education programming—more than 240 courses led by expert faculty from across the globe covering a wide range of topics—and the most innovative scientific research in the field, with an anticipated 2,800+ abstracts.

Stefan M. Pulst, MD, FAAN Chair, Meeting Management Committee

Value, choice, customization, and innovation. That’s the new Annual Meeting everyone is talking about. I look forward to hearing what you have to say about it when I see you in Boston!


1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

CME: Enough said! Experiential Learning Areas: Sometimes the best learning comes in small packages Plenaries: Prepare to be star struck Boston: Not just a band, and “more than a feeling” Passing of the Presidential Gavel: Neurology’s Olympic Torch Leadership University: Feel like taking over the world Customization: Yes, you can have it your way! Networking: Rub shoulders with your favorite neurologist Opening Party: Just a little get together with thousands of your closest friends Neurobowl®: Because you’re too smart for Jeopardy


What’s New In 2017

Neuroscience in the Clinic Sessions These new sessions will feature a mix of scientists and clinicians actively engaged in lively case discussions to integrate scientific research with clinical application. Scientists will introduce and provide background on a case, including presentation of abstracts, and clinicians will apply the case to a patient. All will come together for audience Q&A.

Expanded Experiential Learning Areas Get ready to experience interactive—and totally flexible—new ways of exploring, engaging, and learning throughout each day of the Annual Meeting. Experiential learning areas will offer a variety of real-world experiences designed to engage you intellectually, emotionally, and socially while serving up fresh ideas to help you personally and professionally. See page 8 for more detailed information.

Exhibit Hall Opening Lunch A special opening lunch on Sunday, April 23, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. will give you a chance to socialize with fellow attendees and preview the latest products and services available in the neurologic industry.

Added Leadership University Offerings Explore how to become an emerging female leader in your organization or learn how to lead by example in promoting personal well-being and resiliency with new course offerings from the AAN’s suite of Leadership University courses. See page 75 for more detailed information.


Best of Science Sessions Platform sessions that will bring together the top four abstracts rated the most important research by our reviewers and lead into the daily Plenary Sessions.

Clinical Discussions Short clinical discussion will give platform sessions a new twist with invited speakers wrapping up the session with clinical application.

Poster Session Neighborhood No more long aisles or rows—we’re clustering topic-related posters together into “neighborhoods” to enhance your discussions and make the posters easier to navigate!

Office of the Future Located inside the Exhibit Hall, this exciting new area will let you experience how an office of the future will look and operate. Reimagine your exam room with the latest ergonomic equipment and cutting-edge technology that engages your patients and encourages shared decision-making—from touch-screen learning to lighting, and everything in-between!

The Neurology of Social Behavior

Topic: Aging, Dementia, Cognitive, and Behavioral Neurology Director: Bradford Dickerson, MD, Boston, MA Program Description: Over the past decade, we have seen remarkable advances in our knowledge of social cognitive and affective neuroscience. Our understanding of the neural circuits underpinning socioemotional behaviors such as empathy, self-awareness, warmth, and reading others’ intentions is more precise than ever before. Faculty will provide an overview of how specific neural networks normally function to support social behavior, and will show how this new information can improve our ability to understand the kinds of neurologically based behavioral dysfunction that result from disease and injury. Disturbances of socioemotional behavior in clinical neurology will be discussed using data from patients with diseases that particularly impair social functions, such as frontotemporal dementia, autism, ADHD, sociopathy, and Williams syndrome. Upon Completion: Participants should be able to understand that social behavior and cognition rely on specific neurologic systems in the brain, have a sense of the basic organization and general neuroanatomy of social behavior, and be aware of specific neurologic conditions that particularly impair social functioning.

C220 Memory Disorders:

A Case-based Approach

Topic: Aging, Dementia, Cognitive, and Behavioral Neurology Director: David A. Wolk, MD, Philadelphia, PA Program Description: Memory loss is almost certainly the most common presenting cognitive complaint encountered by neurologists and internists in clinical practice. However, the underlying cognitive impairment may be quite disparate, reflecting the multiple memory systems that can dysfunction. Even within a particular type of memory (e.g., episodic memory), qualitative differences in the nature of the impairment may be due to disruption of different underlying component processes. As these systems and subprocesses have unique functional neuroanatomical underpinnings, identification has localizing value which ultimately assists in determining the etiology. Faculty will present cases to highlight practical approaches to the history and examination to make these distinctions and discuss use of ancillary studies and available therapeutic interventions.

Adults with Down Syndrome

Topics: Child Neurology and Developmental Neurology; Aging, Dementia, Cognitive, and Behavioral Neurology Director: Seth M. Keller, MD, Lumberton, NJ Program Description: Neurologic complications in adults with Down syndrome (DS) are very common. Years ago individuals with Down syndrome often did not survive into adulthood, but with advances in health care and disability rights, many are now becoming seniors. Advancing age brings the expected age-related decline in function as well as disease. Neurologic complications including gait dysfunction, tremors, seizures, and dementia all become significant health complications which often have a tremendous impact on quality of life, activities of daily living, as well as their effects on families and support organizations that care for these individuals. This program will bring together experts in the field who will be able to educate and train the health care provider in being able to reduce the burden of disease, improve satisfaction of care, and provide a model to others.

Status Epilepticus

Topic: Epilepsy/Clinical Neurophysiology (EEG) Director: Frank W. Drislane, MD, FAAN, Boston, MA Program Description: While generalized convulsive status epilepticus (GCSE) is relatively easily diagnosed, recognition of nonconvulsive SE is often poor, especially in medically and neurologically ill patients in ICUs. Diagnosis of SE requires knowledge of many clinical syndromes. This course will review many different etiologies and presentations of status epilepticus (SE), including convulsive, nonconvulsive, and myoclonic SE—each of which must be evaluated and treated differently. There will be plenty of information on the proper interpretation of EEGs in the diagnosis of SE, including during prolonged EEG monitoring in the ICU. Management of SE has become more complicated than simply choosing ‘the’ drug for convulsive SE. Detailed description will be given of the remarkably varied treatments that are emerging for the most refractory SE cases. Upon Completion: Participants should be able to diagnose status epilepticus in urgent and unusual presentations; integrate clinical and EEG findings to make a correct diagnosis; recognize and treat cases of nonconvulsive status, avoiding both under-recognition and over-treatment; have a command of the utility and practicalities of EEG monitoring in the management of SE in very ill ICU patients; and utilize several more “aggressive“ treatments effectively for the most refractory SE cases.

CNS Toxicities

Monday, April 24, 2017

C72

Topic: General Neurology Director: Neeraj Kumar, MD, Rochester, MN Program Description: New drugs of abuse are emerging at an alarming rate as manufacturers of “legal high“ products use chemicals to replace those that are banned. Many of these drugs (bath salts, spice, molly) are touted as legal, perceived as safe, and in many cases difficult to detect on standard drug screens. The industrial use of metals resulting in occupational exposure continues to engender public and scientific interest. Over-the-counter medications may be associated with neurotoxicity. Use of biologics like TNF alpha-inhibitors and various monoclonal antibodies may be accompanied by neurological side effects. CNS toxicities are seen in context of antineoplastics, antiepileptics, analgesics, anesthetics, and antimicrobials. Syndromes such as posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS), and serotonin syndrome result from commonly used medications. This course will cover the topic of CNS toxicities in a case-based format with a focus on recent developments.

Topic: Leadership Directors: Orly Avitzur, MD, MBA, FAAN, Tarrytown, NY Janice M. Massey, MD, FAAN, Durham, NC Barbara L. Hoese, Minneapolis, MN Program Description: For more than two decades, over half of physicians and trainees in neurology have been women. Yet women still remain underrepresented in the top leadership positions in academic medical centers and large private practices. The number of women in top leadership positions has remained largely unchanged since the early 2000s. In a recent study published online in the Journal of American Medical Association Internal Medicine and referenced in the AAN’s Neurology Today, it was noted that women neurologists in academics make $44,000 less than their male counterparts. The ongoing challenges of women achieving equity in pay and opportunities is a leadership issue. To help develop and support women who have the capacity and desire to lead in academic or private sectors and in the field of neurology, the AAN is offering this course focusing on identifying and building women’s capacity to lead in both environments. Upon Completion: Participants will be able to develop and support women who have the capacity and desire to lead at higher levels in their institution or practice and in the field of neurology; through involvement of women Academy Fellows, provide role models for women; encourage women to embrace their own leadership capability; equip women to express their leadership voice and be heard (regardless of audience) on a variety of topics in their workplaces.

C125 Nonmotor Manifestations of Parkinson’s Disease I

Topic: Movement Disorders Director: Charles H. Adler, MD, PhD, FAAN, Scottsdale, AZ Program Description: This program will cover the nonmotor features that are now known to predate motor Parkinson’s disease (PD), as well as those that affect quality of life as PD progresses. PD is a systemic disorder and there will be discussion of the pathological basis for nonmotor features. Data will be presented showing which findings predate motor PD and how these may be used to identify individuals at higher risk for developing PD. This includes the evidence that patients with REM sleep behavior disorder are at high risk to develop PD. Methods to assess patients for nonmotor symptoms, including questionnaires and examination methods, will be discussed. As quality of life has been shown to be very impacted by nonmotor features of PD, this course will raise awareness of a topic that has not received nearly enough attention by PD and nonPD neurologists. This program complements C140: Nonmotor Manifestations of Parkinson’s Disease II, but covers independent topics. Upon Completion: Participants should be able to discuss prodromal Parkinson’s disease and identify nonmotor features of PD that predate motor signs and discuss methods for assessing nonmotor features including questionnaires and examination skills. 84 2017 AAN Annual Meeting Early Look

Clinical Pearls

Director: Myla Goldman, MD, Charlottesville, VA Program Description: The first step in treating the MS patient is making the correct diagnosis. To do so, one must understand the spectrum of presentations, such as first episode or MRI-only forms of MS (clinically isolated syndrome and radiologically isolated syndrome). Clinicians should also recognize alternative diagnoses or “MS mimics.“ MRI is an essential tool in the early stages of diagnosis and over the course of a patient’s care and management. Clinicians need to thoughtfully use MRI to monitor patients and guide decisions about when and if to change treatment. Faculty will review basic pathophysiology and risk factors in MS, common differential diagnostic considerations, clinical MRI tools and applications in the context of MS diagnosis and determination of treatment response. This program complements C190: Multiple Sclerosis Overview: Basic and Translational Science and C214: Multiple Sclerosis Overview: Clinical Advances, but covers independent topics.

Clinical Advances

Director: Scott Douglas Newsome, DO, Baltimore, MD Program Description: It is extremely important for clinicians treating MS to enhance their knowledge base about the changing landscape of the MS diseasemodifying therapies (DMTs). Making treatment decisions for an individual MS patient is a daunting task and the individualized patient benefit-risk assessment becomes increasingly difficult as new therapies emerge. Furthermore, if these therapies become available, clinicians need to have a full understanding of their benefit-risk profiles. Faculty will review the efficacy and safety profiles of current and late-stage emerging MS DMTs. It is equally challenging to define what constitutes optimal and suboptimal response to DMTs for an individual patient. Moreover, it is critical for clinicians to be able to recognize short-term clinical and paraclinical factors that may help identify patients at high risk for long-term disability. Faculty will review key considerations in MS clinical practice to address the above challenges in both didactic and case-based formats. This program complements C190: Multiple Sclerosis Overview: Basic and Translational Science and C201: Multiple Sclerosis Overview: Clinical Pearls, but covers independent topics. Upon Completion: Participants should feel more confident in prescribing and monitoring multiple sclerosis (MS) disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) as it relates to their efficacy and safety profiles along with develop a better understanding of key considerations in clinical practice. Participants will also become familiar with late-stage DMTs that have a strong potential of getting approved for use in MS. Participants should also be able to recognize what factors put an MS patient at risk for long-term disability and when to consider switching therapies.

C224 Controversies in Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Topic: MS and CNS Inflammatory Disease Director: Riley Bove, MD, San Francisco, CA Program Description: Disease-modifying therapies for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) are considered to be most effective when started early in the course of the disease. Should patients with clinically and radiologically isolated syndromes be started on disease modifying therapy? Should MS patients with stable disease be trialed off of MS disease-modifying therapy and if so, under what circumstances? Should all MS patients with seropositivity for JC virus antibody discontinue natalizumab treatment? Should all patients with MS be treated with vitamin D supplementation? Definitive evidence-based criteria may remain uncertain, but faculty will discuss and debate the merits, the available evidence, and their own clinical experience that can assist participants in making these important treatment decisions. Upon Completion: Participants should be able to describe and discuss the relative pros and cons of a number of controversies in MS evaluation and therapy.

C157 Lumbar Radiculopathy, Lumbar Spinal Stenosis, Low Back Pain, and Failed Back Syndrome

Topics: Pain and Palliative Care; Neuro-rehabilitation Director: Ligia Viorela Onofrei, MD, Salt Lake City, UT Program Description: Spine conditions are exceedingly common. Neurologists are frequently asked to evaluate and treat patients with low back and lower limb pain that could be due to radiculopathy or cauda equina compression. Faculty will address the indications and timing for obtaining imaging and further diagnostic tests, discuss the treatments available and the evidence behind them, and discuss surgical options and indications for and against surgery. For many spine conditions, the evidence base for evaluating and treating patients is weak at best. Thus, in many situations, there is no one right answer for how to care for the patient with a spine disorder. This interactive program will use the audience response system to present cases that attendees will be asked to evaluate and treat. In addition, we will discuss the role of opioid analgesics in the treatment of acute and chronic pain. Upon Completion: Participants will be familiar with evidenced-based recommendations for diagnostic testing and treatment of common lumbar spine disorders, including when to obtain advanced imaging, when and what kind of spine injections to order, the appropriate use of opioid analgesics for acute and chronic low back and radicular lower limb pain, and when to recommend lumbar spine surgery.

ICD-10-CM: How to Optimize for Accurate Diagnosis and Reimbursement

Topic: Practice, Policy, and Ethics Director: Jeffrey R. Buchhalter, MD, FAAN, Calgary, AB, Canada Program Description: On October 1, 2015, the ICD-10-CM code set became required for all transactions involving reimbursement from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, as well as for other third-party payers. A one-year grace period was granted that allowed full reimbursement for using the correct code family without full specificity. Presenters will use a case-based approach focusing on practical aspects of ICD-10 including optimizing coding specificity for common neurologic disorders (e.g. stroke, epilepsy, headache), how codes relate to valuebased reimbursement and MACRA, and how more accurate coding results in fewer denials. Upon Completion: Participants should be able to code common neurologic disorders to the highest degree of specificity to reflect the severity of illness, know the codes for several of the most commonly encountered disorders seen by neurologists, understand how coding plays an essential role in value-based reimbursement, and avoid and respond to denials for services rendered.

How to Run a Practice: Business Strategies for Neurology Private Practices, Academic Centers, and the Future

Topic: Practice, Policy, and Ethics Director: Brad C. Klein, MD, MBA, FAAN, Willow Grove, PA Program Description: Neurology practices struggle for survival due to higher overhead and shrinking reimbursements for cognitive specialists. Higher malpractice premiums and office expenses, lower payments per patient, the rising cost of compliance with government regulations, and time-consuming insurance documentation requirements are the trend. Overlooking the true cost of services and procedures can result in financial drains to neurologic practice and unexpected losses. Faculty will give an overview of basic financial tools and how to apply sound business strategies to neurology practice issues. Faculty will cover the critical processes necessary to quantitatively evaluate a practice’s income and expenses, particularly in-depth analysis of revenue cycle and practice efficiencies. Faculty will also cover the steps involved in determination if expansion of services and/or providers will result in sustainable financial growth, avoidance of internal fraud, and strategic planning for future financial models, such as accountable care organizations. Upon Completion: Participants should be able to understand practice revenues, expenses, and cash flow; identify revenue cycle problems; establish and use key performance indicators for their practices; enhance work flow to maintain fiscal health; use benchmarking to enhance their practice; know and address basic legal issues in setting up and running a practice; understand how to choose and use technology at point of care; evaluate the economics of outsourcing versus providing in-house services; use financial analysis to determine if technology and other capital investments will provide a return on investment; know how to determine which payers are creating an administrative drain on their practices; identify possible fraud internally within the practice; and understand how to evaluate and implement new financial reimbursement and risk-sharing management models such as accountable care organizations.

C102 Business Strategies for Payer Negotiations and/or How to Go off the Grid

Topic: Practice, Policy, and Ethics Director: Brad C. Klein, MD, MBA, FAAN, Willow Grove, PA Program Description: Neurologists struggle to spend the necessary amount of time to provide high quality care for patients. Despite limited data to support neurology quality metrics or appropriate cost saving measures, government and commercial payer intervention in the physicianpatient relationship continues to expand. Efforts to work under ever-increasing demands and requirements may be unsustainable for many neurologists, raising serious questions of viability in maintaining a traditional practice model. Faculty will provide a framework to evaluate and negotiate current payer relationships and, if collaboration is not possible, how to assess and develop alternate practice models that could remove dependency on payers for payments and maintain the physician-patient relationship. Upon Completion: Participants should be able to develop an advanced understanding of their practice’s clinical revenues; develop a comprehensive and critical assessment of the value of each payer; build a sensitivity analysis to project potential financial implications of leaving a payer if needed; understand potential steps in negotiations; and recognize and manage unfavorable payer contract clauses in participation agreements. Participants should also be able to understand specific challenges related to leaving government payers such as Medicare. Lastly, participants should be able to learn additional skillsets to help transition to a cash practice as well as strategies and techniques to grow, maintain, and succeed in caring for patients unencumbered by insurance contracts.

C128 Sleep Apnea and Related Disorders Over the Lifecycle: What Neurologists Need to Know

Topic: Sleep

Director: Michael J. Howell, MD, FAAN, Minneapolis, MN Program Description: By the time an individual lives to 78 they will have spent 26 years in a state of purposeful unconsciousness with decreased ventilatory responses. These changes in brainstem function represent a respiratory “stress test“ and various pathologies can result in sleepdisordered breathing. The etiologies, and thus management, of sleep apnea, hypoventilation, and related conditions evolve over a lifetime. But regardless of whether these pathologies are due to obesity, hypertrophic tonsils/adenoids, brain stem pathology, or commonly prescribed analgesic medications, sleep disordered breathing has neurobehavioral and cerebrovascular consequences. Faculty will provide clinically relevant, up-to-date summaries of these fascinating conditions, including an overview of sleep disordered breathing across the lifecycle, a discussion of normal age-related changes in sleep-related respiratory physiology, and a review of the challenges and opportunities in diagnosing and treating sleep apnea and related disorders. Upon Completion: Participants should be able to identify the neurologic conditions commonly associated with obstructive sleep apnea and sleep-related hypoventilation, and be able to explain the treatment options.

C166 Circadian Rhythm Disorders: Implications for Neurology

Topic: Sleep

Director: Phyllis C. Zee, MD, PhD, Chicago, IL Program Description: The circadian timing system is ubiquitous to nearly all organisms, from single cells to humans. The discovery of the molecular mechanisms underlying the generation of circadian rhythms, and the finding that these circadian clock genes are expressed throughout the central nervous system, and in most peripheral tissues, has expanded our view of the role of circadian rhythms in health and neurologic disease. Circadian based sleep disturbances are an important feature of many neurological disorders. Through presentation on the biology of circadian rhythm regulation, impact of circadian dysregulation in aging and neurodegeneration, and common as well as challenging cases of circadian rhythm sleep disorders, faculty will discuss evaluation, diagnostic tools, and treatment approaches for circadian disorders.

C197 Interpreting Sleep Study Procedure(s),

Data, and Reports: What the Non-sleep Specialist Needs to Know

Topic: Sleep Director: Charlene Gamaldo, MD, FAAN, Baltimore, MD Program Description: Neurologists increasingly order sleep studies, which requires familiarity with the type of studies available and when and how to order specialized studies. The objective of this course is to review the type of procedures currently available for the evaluation and management of sleep disorders, focusing specifically on those sleep conditions commonly encountered by neurologic patients. Faculty will discuss the interpretation of sleep tests, including in-laboratory polysomnography, portable sleep studies, multiple sleep latency tests, actigraphy, and other specialized sleep testing for patients with various sleep complaints. Faculty will focus on indications for sleep testing; interpretation of tests; and key electrographic findings in major sleep disorders encountered in neurology practice, including sleep apnea, narcolepsy, movement disorders of sleep, and complex nocturnal behaviors. An interactive platform will be used, with examples of sleep recordings to help illustrate and reinforce the important concepts in sleep neurology. Upon Completion: Participants should be able to gain familiarity with the rationale for polysomnography in the assessment and evaluation of patients with hypersomnia, insomnia, and abnormal nocturnal behaviors and movements; select appropriate sleep studies in the investigation of key sleep disorders; become familiar with the key electrographic 134 2017 AAN Annual Meeting Early Look

C234 Sleep for the Practicing Neurologist I:

Is it Narcolepsy or Something Else? Diagnostic and Management Challenges in the Central Disorders of Hypersomnolence

Topic: Sleep Director: Michael J. Howell, MD, FAAN, Minneapolis, MN Program Description: Patients with brain disease frequently describe excessive daytime sleepiness. Because of this neurologists are often asked to investigate and manage the central disorders of hypersomnolence such as: Narcolepsy Types 1 and 2, idiopathic hypersomnia, and Kleine-Levin Syndrome. These treatable conditions are challenging to both clinicians and patients. Faculty will provide a clinically relevant, up-to-date review on the identification and management of patients with central disorders of hypersomnolence; discuss narcolepsy, its unique presentation, pathophysiology, and treatments; and discuss the other central disorder of hypersomnolence. These conditions, which include idiopathic hypersomnia, are difficult to diagnose and treat with currently employed diagnostic and therapeutic tools. This program complements C242: Sleep for the Practicing Neurologist II: Night Fighting: sleep Related Hypermotor Epilepsy, Sleepwalking, and Dream Enactment, but covers independent topics. Upon Completion: Participants should be able to recognize the features of narcolepsy that distinguish it from other central disorders of hypersomnolence; be able to recognize the limitations of the multiple sleep latency test, the most commonly employed laboratory measure of sleepiness; and leave with new insights on the etiology of these conditions, as well as understand the directions researchers are taking towards the development of novel therapies.

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.

AMA Credit Designation

The American Academy of Neurology Institute 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 in this booklet for the maximum number of credits per program.

CME/Participation Records

AANI has mechanisms in place to record, and when authorized by the participating physician, verify participation in the CME activity. To receive CME for the Annual Meeting live program, participants must: (1) have their badge printed on site and be verified as eligible for credit; (2) attend the program(s); and (3) submit the evaluation form for the program(s). CME is given only when all three steps are completed. AAN member CME and participation transcripts are available approximately four to six weeks following the close of the meeting via the AAN’s NeuroTracker™ at AAN.com/view/NeuroTracker. Nonmembers’ CME credits and participation transcripts will be sent automatically via email.

ABPN Statement

The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology has reviewed the AAN Annual Meeting and has approved this product as a part of a comprehensive lifelong learning program which is mandated by the ABMS as a necessary component of maintenance of certification.

Core Competencies

The AANI develops its activities/educational interventions in the context of the desirable physician attributes; specifically, of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Core Competencies which include: }} Patient Care }} Medical Knowledge }} Interpersonal and Communication Skills }} Practice-Based Learning and Improvement }} Professionalism }} Systems-Based Practice For more information on the definitions of the ACGME core competencies, please consult the following webpage: ACGME.org . Once again, the Annual Meeting CME offerings, at the program and lecture level, are identified according to these competencies. Through identifying individual programs by competencies, attendees can easily identify and attend programs that meet each core competency.

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) Certified CME is defined as: 1. Nonpromotional learning activities certified for credit prior to the activity by an organization authorized by the credit system owner, or 2. 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, 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. 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.

An individual who refuses to disclose relevant financial relationships is disqualified from being a planning committee member, a teacher, or an author of CME, and cannot have control of, or responsibility for, the development, management, presentation or evaluation of the CME activity. In addition, the AANI must implement a mechanism to identify and resolve all conflicts of interest prior to the education activity being delivered to learners. The resolution of conflict is handled by the Education and Science Committees. Disclosures for everyone in the position to control Annual Meeting content can be found on the AAN Annual Meeting website. In addition, education and science faculty disclosures can also be found in the syllabi, slides, handouts, and/or are given verbally from the podium.

Unlabeled Use Disclosure The AANI requires all Annual Meeting presenters to disclose if a therapy/product is not labeled for the use being discussed or if the therapy/product is still investigational. Unlabeled use disclosures can be found in the program materials.

Grants Some Annual Meeting education and scientific programs are supported in part by educational grants from commercial entities. Disclosure of the educational grant is done through acknowledgment statements on the program materials, signs outside of the room, and verbally from the podium. Although educational grants are received, all programs are developed and implemented solely by the Education Committee and Science Committee. The terms, conditions, and purposes of the commercial support are documented in a written agreement between the AANI and commercial supporter. The AAN uses grant funds to support and enhance existing, as well as new, education programs.

Hotel and Reservations Why Book a Hotel Room Through the AAN? Booking your room through the official AAN housing company assures you are getting a room at the hotel that best fits your needs. You are also helping the AAN maintain consistent and competitive registration fees. The reason is simple. When a city is selected as the site for the AAN Annual Meeting, contracts are signed with several hotels reserving a specific number of rooms to be available for meeting attendees. If these rooms are not sold, the AAN is liable financially. Penalties incurred affect the overall costs of the Annual Meeting and what the AAN charges for registration, exhibit space, and other services. Discounted hotel rates are available until March 8, 2017, or until the block is filled. After this date, reservations are subject to availability. Hotel fees will be posted and charged in American dollars.

Save on Hotel Reservations Take advantage of the AAN’s special hotel rates to make your trip more affordable. Annual Meeting hotel reservations are processed by Convention Management Resources (CMR).

Travel Tips Travel Documents/Passports and Entry Requirements

Luggage

Non-US visitors must have valid travel documents/passports to enter Boston to provide proof of their citizenship. Document requirements vary depending on your country of origin, citizenship, the reason for your visit, and the length of your stay, and may include passport or a birth certificate, photo ID, and/or a visa.

Restrictions for carry-on baggage and weight and size limits for checked baggage are different for international flights than for domestic flights. Be sure to check with your individual carrier as to weight and measurement restrictions and associated costs for overages.

For more information, or to request a Letter of Announcement for the 2017 Annual Meeting, visit AAN.com/view/AMinfo.

Measurements

Logan International Airport The Boston, MA, area is served by the Logan International Airport. The airport is approximately three miles from The Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.

Currency Boston’s currency is the US dollar; currency exchange is available at banks and kiosks throughout the city and at the airport. Cash machines/ATMs are available in most banks, hotels, and shopping centers. For denominations under one dollar, the currency is coins.

Customs and Immigration From an international point of arrival, upon arriving in Boston, you will be required to go through a US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) inspection. Before you land, your flight crew will distribute an Immigration and Customs Declaration Form for you to complete; forms are also available at the airport upon your arrival. You will need to present this form, along with your passport, visa (if any), and return tickets to the CBP officer.

Health Insurance

Boston uses the United States customary system for weights and measurements. If you choose to drive in Boston be aware the speed limits are posted in miles per hour.

Medication If you are entering Boston with prescription drugs and syringes: keep the medication in its original, labeled container; include medical certificate with syringes showing they are for medical use and have them declared to US Customs officials; bring an extra prescription in case your medication is lost and/or to attest to your need to take such prescriptions; and carry the generic name of prescription medicines.

Mobile Phone Service Contact your service provider directly to inquire if service is available and/or the applicable rates.

Time Zone Boston is in the Eastern Time Zone. In April it will be the same time as New York, one hour ahead of Chicago, three hours ahead of Los Angeles, five hours behind London, and 13 hours behind Tokyo. For more information, visit AAN.com/view/AMinfo.

Be sure to check with your health insurance provider about policy coverage away from home—particularly if you’re insured by an HMO and/or Medicare/Medicaid.
