Volunteer Opportunities
Make an Impact With AANEM
Hundreds of NM and EDX experts volunteer their time and expertise to serve on a variety of AANEM committees and task forces each year. These volunteers make it possible for AANEM to achieve its mission to improve the quality of patient care and advance the science of NM diseases and EDX medicine.
Get involved this year to build meaningful connections with other members, immerse yourself in the latest science, and make an impact in the NM and EDX community.
Explore the committee brochure to learn more, and volunteer to join a group that fits your interests and experience.

PM&R Engagement Committee
As a member of the PM&R Engagement Committee, you will help bridge the gap between PM&R physicians and AANEM. By aligning educational resources and advocacy efforts with their needs, you’ll encourage EDX utilization, highlight NM career opportunities, and strengthen the connection between PM&R physicians and AANEM.
Key Tasks:
• Recommend the creation of educational materials and meeting sessions tailored to PM&R physicians.
• Collaborate with external organizations, such as AAP and AAPM&R.
• Advocate for the inclusion of EDX in PM&R practice through targeted initiatives.
This committee meets yearly at the AANEM Annual Meeting. Additional commitment outside of the meeting is approximately 5-10 hours per year.

In an ever-changing world of medical practice–and especially when there are so many and so varied assaults on the quality of EDX medicine–I have found it rewarding to be a part of efforts and programs to meet these challenges. Being on committees and being involved in the AANEM helps me feel I am helping and a part of the solution.
