Duke Neurology was well represented at the American Academy of Neurology's (AAN) Annual Meeting, this year held in San Diego, California. Several faculty, APPs, trainees and staff made the journey across the country to absorb and provide insight to what's new in the world of neurology. Research was on display in nine poster presentations, eight presentations and panels were sat on, and one workshop given. Rounding out the weekend were an A.B. Baker Teacher Recognition award wins for Suma Shah, MD, and Andrea Linares-Lopez was a one of the Resident Scholarship winners. See all work outlined below.
