The need for equity and inclusiveness in health care has never been greater. The AAN is firmly committed to embracing Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, AntiRacism, and Social Justice (IDEAS) for our members, staff, organization, profession, and, ultimately, the patient communities we serve. Learn more about AAN IDEAS initiatives and how we are putting our vision and mission into action.

Large shifts in the landscape of the health care industry have led to a gap between the skills that health care leaders possess and the skills their organizations need. This gap is largely felt by physician leaders whose medical education has traditionally focused on developing excellent clinical skills, but not the fundamental leadership skills needed to advance their organizations in this changing industry. Stop by the Leadership Development Booth to learn what resources the AAN has to offer you to further your leadership development.

Live Inspirational Talk with Bestselling Author, Adventurer Alison Levine

Alison Levine, the first American Women's Everest Expedition team captain and New York Times bestselling author, will inspire Annual Meeting attendees on Tuesday, April 20, from 1:00 p.m.–2:00 p.m. ET. Despite having been born with a life-threatening condition requiring two cardiac surgeries and suffering from Raynaud's disease, a condition that cuts the blood flow to her fingers and toes in cold temperatures leaving her at extreme risk for frostbite, she has overcome her challenges to become a history-making adventurer. Her talk ”On the Edge: The Art of High-Impact Leadership” will focus on the importance of teamwork, determination, tenacity, and the ability to adapt to changing environments as the critical keys to success in one’s life and career. She will draw on her experience as team captain to make a compelling case that the leadership principles that apply in the world of extreme adventure also apply to today’s rigorously competitive work environments. Be sure to stay after the 45-minute talk for a question and answer session.
