Consortium of Neurology Advanced Practice Providers (CNAPP)

Get Involved

The Consortium of Neurology Advanced Practice Providers (APPs), often referred to as CNAPP, represents the voices of APPs in the Academy. All APPs who join the AAN are automatically considered members of CNAPP.

The goal of CNAPP is to unify and empower neurology APPs through collaboration, learning, and professional development to advance the delivery of high-quality, patient-centered care.

CNAPP is focused on promoting the growth, recognition, and leadership of APPs in the field of neurology and within the AAN. It strives to foster a culture of APPs who feel valued, engaged, and empowered to transform neurology through innovation, excellence, and equality.
