The American Neurological Association (ANA) Futures Program is a longitudinal career development program for Medical Students and Residents interested in careers in academic neurology. This program is a unique opportunity because it will provide career guidance via individualized interactions with leading academic neurologists.
The program involves participation in three small group zoom sessions with ANA Leaders (each session focused on a different career development topic) culminating in an in-person meeting with ANA Board Members and Leaders at the ANA's Annual Meeting each year.
