Since 2018, European Academy of Neurology gives 60 neurologists in training (RRFS members) the chance to increase their knowledge of clinical neurology. The basic idea is to illustrate and showcase how experienced neurologists and sub-specialists approach specific clinical presentations, including an update on relevant diagnostic and treatment approaches for key conditions in the relevant areas. Hence, EAN organizes fully funded Autumn School for the professional neurologists. This year, EAN will hold the autumn school in Loutraki, Greece

Moreover, EAN has structured the course in plenary sessions for all participants in the morning and hands-on/interactive or case-based sessions in the afternoons (20 participants per course, rotating); including patient input where possible.

Potentially suitable patients willing to attend for afternoon sessions will be identified from the host country with the assistance of local neurologists/the national neurological society. Further, for local patients, language is not a barrier as the local neurologist will be able to translate where needed.
