Education and TrainingAANP supports the education and training of individuals across the entire breadth of neuropathology, including the graduate student studying the molecular pathways that lead to neurodegeneration, the neuropathology fellow learning how to integrate morphologic and molecular data to diagnose gliomas, the young clinician who wants to maintain their American Board of Pathology certification, or the physician who has been practicing neuropathology for decades and simply wants to learn the latest advances in neuropathology. AANP supports the education and training of its members through a rich variety of educational opportunities, including a subscription to the Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology, the annual meeting, CME/SAMS courses, and the Diagnostic Slide Session.
