About The Academy
In 2003, leading traumatic brain injury experts crafted the Academy for Multidisciplinary Neurotraumatology to advance neurotraumatology in research, practical application, and teaching. The Academy maintains the highest commitment to excellence in education through organization of world congresses and workshops and in the intensification of cooperation among scientific academies, societies, associations, research institutions, and companies who are concerned with questions related to neurotraumatology. AMN members come from a variety of fields, including neurosurgery, neurorehabilitation, basic research, education, and health care administration, and public policy. We often serve as officers on Executive Boards of the world’s leading regional, national, and international societies for traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury (SCI), and other allied concerns.
International Congresses
AMN Congresses provide robust educational and interactive opportunities for clinicians, researchers, rehabilitation specialists, and other professionals working to advance the field or neurotraumatology within a wide array of disciplines. We meet each year at places around the globe, often in conjunction with local, national, or regional allied groups.

- Brescia, Italy (2004)
