Construction of the annual meeting program of the Academy

Daniel S. Feldman, MD

From the Department of Neurology, Medical College of Georgia, Augusta, GA.

Six hundred of 912 papers submitted were accepted for presentation at the 1983 Annual Meeting of the AAN. A statistical study of scoring by individual members of the Committee showed significant mean score differences. A normalization procedure for scoring was compared with the actual meeting scores and selections. A substantial difference in 3 of 19 program categories and lesser changes in 14 others occurred. It is no longer feasible for each submission to be evaluated by all committee members. Four readers per paper and normalization of scores will result in a program reflecting the broad interests of the Academy membership.

Address correspondence and reprint requests to Dr. Feldman, Department of Neurology, Medical College of Georgia, Augusta, GP, 30912.

Accepted for publication August 8, 1983.
