American College of Neuroscience Administrators (ACNA)
AAMA initiated development of the American College of Neuroscience Administrators (ACNA) in late 2011 to serve the targeted educational programming, credentials and problem-solving needs of specialists in the broad field of neuroscience administration.
The group’s steering committee has defined the broad field of neuroscience to include the subspecialties of neurosurgery and neurology, supporting administrators, managers, supervisors and consultants who may work in areas such as stroke, neuro-endovascular/neuro-interventional, cognitive disorders, MS, movement disorders, intra-operative monitoring, physical medicine and rehabilitation (including acute rehab), sleep medicine, spine surgery, rheumatology, neuro-oncology, epilepsy, Parkinson’s, neuro-psychiatry, EEG-EMG, otolaryngology, traumatic brain injury, and pain management.
Mission: To advance excellence in neuroscience leadership and the business of neuroscience administration through individual relationships, multi-disciplinary interaction, ongoing education and active engagement.
Vision: To be the coordinating catalyst for inspiring neuroscience administrators to advance themselves in positions of leadership and enhance the business of neuroscience administration.
Values:
- Integrity in leadership
- Innovation and collaboration in neuroscience service line development
- Respect for individual expertise and knowledge
- Commitment to the organization, its Mission, Vision and Values
