About

The AAN Health Care Equity Program cohort will participate in a multi-faceted program guided to continue personal development and to help the participants create a customized roadmap aimed at mitigating health care disparities. The program will kick off at the 2025 Annual Meeting and will meet virtually three times until graduation in March 2026. Cohort members will work on individual projects to mitigate health care disparities at their own institutions. At the conclusion of the program, recipients will have gained knowledge on health care disparities and learned tools and resources they can put into action at their own institutions.  

2025 Annual Meeting registration will be included for participants.
