Become a Distinguished Colleague of the AAN
AAN member designations
The Distinguished Colleague of the AAN (DAAN) designation, while not a class of membership, is a formal designation that is available to Researcher, Advanced Practice Provider, and Business Administrator members of the AAN.
“The AAN advocates for physician-led neurology care teams and recommends the clinical leader of a multi-disciplinary team be a Board-certified neurologist,” said Carlayne Jackson, MD, FAAN, Immediate Past President of the AAN. “The AAN also recognizes and supports the expanded collaborative role that Researchers, Advanced Practice Providers, and Business Administrators play in physician-led neurological care, advances in neurological research, and their engagement as members of the AAN.”
The integration of Researchers, Advanced Practice Providers, and Business Administrators in physician-led neurology care teams creates a model of care that is crucial to improving access, quality, and continuity of care for people with neurological disease.
