WP (Walter Paulus): The European Chapter (EC-IFCN) is one of four chapters of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology (IFCN), with the others being North America, South America and Oceania.

David Vodušek (DV): As President of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and active neuro-oncologist you are confronted with the full panorama of neurological sciences. How will you bridge the very specific and the very broad?

These volunteers represent some of the best and brightest neurologists and are knowledgeable on the hundreds of neurologic diseases encountered in clinical practice by our members.
