Anti-Racism education Program

The AAN’s vision is to be indispensable to its members; our mission is to enhance member career fulfillment and promote brain health for all. We cannot be indispensable, promote brain health for all, or enhance the career fulfillment of our members, if we ignore the pervasive inequities that are often barriers in our society. To achieve this vision and mission, we must offer learning opportunities to increase awareness of the toll of racism in society along with building skills for mitigating the impact that historic, deeply rooted, and systemic inequities have on our members, our patients, and the communities we serve.

The AAN Anti-racism Education Program is an on demand, learn at your own pace anti-racism core curriculum unique for all AAN members. This program is designed to be completed over several months with built-in time for reflection between the four modules covering the following topics:
