Celebrating 75 Years of Women at the American Academy of Neurology.

Although the field of neurology was dominated by men at the time the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) was founded in 1948, women were involved from the inception of the organization, albeit in limited numbers. This historical review highlights the challenging experiences of some of those trailblazers who participated in the AAN during the early days and made a mark for themselves in neurology. They helped pave the way for an increasing number of women who now serve in leadership roles-including back-to-back-to-back presidents-and make up 42% of the Academy's membership today.

US Health Care System in 2035: The Neurology Future Forecasting Series.

Evolution of the US health care system has been punctuated by periods of rapid change.

Neurologists will want to choose their electronic health record prudently. Careful selection, contracting, planning, and training are essential to successful implementation.
