AUPN's Leadership Minute is a brief, highly focused summary of practical advice for Chairs, Program Directors and other leaders in academic neurology, available as both mini-podcasts and in short form videos.

The goal of this program is to provide relevant and useful information in a modicum of time, designed to fit seamlessly into our very busy schedules.

There is a significant shortage of neurologists in the United States. Much of the potential neurology workforce is non-US international medical graduates who have limitations based on the rules of the J-1 visa program. Understanding how to use the waiver system can be beneficial in improving recruitment of neurologists.
