Lange, Ph.D. NATIONAL 2015 NAN Program Chair Research Director & Senior Scientist ACADEMY OF Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center NEUROPSYCHOLOGY Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Bethesda, Maryland Welcome to the 35th Annual Conference of the National Academy of Neuropsychology. On behalf of the 2015 Program Committee and NAN Board of Directors, I welcome you to join us in Austin, Texas from November 4-7, 2015. We have prepared an exciting program filled with internationally renowned speakers. The program showcases innovations in clinical science and practice, while also providing excellent opportunities for professional networking, and leaving a few hours each day to enjoy the Austin music scene! To establish the tone of the conference, we are honored to have Dr. Donald Stuss as our opening Keynote speaker. Dr. Stuss is a very prominent and distinguished neuropsychologist who has received lifetime contribution awards from both NAN and INS. He will discuss the role of the frontal lobes and implications for diagnosis and rehabilitation. Additionally, we are honored to have Dr. Kenneth Heilman as our closing Keynote speaker. Dr. Heilman is an internationally renowned neurologist who has had a significant impact not only in neurology, but also in shaping the field of neuropsychology. He will speak to the neuropsychology of creativity. In addition, we are also honored to have Dr. Patricia Churchland who will give perhaps one of the most unique workshop presentations at NAN this year. Dr. Churchland is a professor in philosophy who will discuss her work regarding the interface between neuroscience and philosophy – a new endeavor called neurophilosophy. In addition, we have assembled a diverse series of workshops led by established and emerging scientific leaders in the field to serve as guides across a wide-range of topical issues in neuropsychology. For example, we are offering workshops on the new metabolic cascade of concussion (Dr. Christopher Giza and Dr. Michael McCrea); biomarker profiles of MCI diagnoses (Dr. Mark Bondi and Dr. Glenn Smith); substance misuse (Dr. Ralph Tarter); evidence based medicine (Dr. Gordon Chelune); cognitive rehabilitation (Dr. John DeLuca); aging and diversity (Dr. Sid O’Bryant); and a number of pediatric-focused workshops relating to performance validity testing (Dr. Brian Brooks and Dr. Mike Kirkwood), assessment of executive functioning (Dr. Gerard Gioia), and epilepsy (Dr. Christine Salinas and Dr. Michael Westerveld). Dr. Corwin Boake and Dr. Tony Puente will give a timely presentation on the implications of the new DSM-5 and ICD-10 criteria. There will also be cross-discipline workshops that focus on behavioral neurology (Dr. Lola Morgan), brain imaging (Dr. Paul Lebby), and advanced neuroanatomy (Dr. Gregory Lee). In addition to a workshop dedicated to ethics in neuropsychology (Dr. Christopher Grote), we also have two additional workshops that include a timely discussion of ethical issues relating to performance validity testing in at risk populations (Dr. Kyle Brauer Boone) and the role of emotion in the accurate assessment of executive functioning (Dr. Yana Suchy). There are also several topics that NAN members look forward to every year. Dr. Tony Puente will provide an update on developments in billing and coding. Dr. Teresa Deer from NAN’s Professional Affairs and Information Committee (PAIC) is pairing up with Ms. Deborah Adler from Optum’s Specialty Networks Services to provide a workshop on reimbursement “hacks” for neuropsychologists. Pediatric and adult neuropsychologists will be excited to hear a discussion of several unique and interesting clinical cases in the annual Grand Round workshops. In addition, representatives from the ABPP (Dr. Linas Bieliauskas), ABN (Dr. John Meyers, Dr. Geoffrey Kanter, Dr. Karen Wilhelm), and ABPdN (Dr. Peter Dodzik) will be here to help people learn more about how to become board certified. Also, there will be the annual student luncheon that includes a panel of four training directors from Brown University (Dr. Jennifer Davis), University of Oklahoma (Dr. Jim Scott), Department of Veteran Affairs (Dr. Bradley Axelrod), and University of California, San Diego (Dr. Lisa Delano-Wood) who will provide pointers on how to maximize the probability of success when applying and interviewing for internships and postdoctoral fellowships. New this year, we are also excited to bring a new workshop format to the NAN program. A series of six one hour short paper sessions will each highlight four research studies that focus on a specific theme (i.e., Diversity, Aging, Pediatrics, Epilepsy, Adult TBI, and Effort). Presenters will be given 10 minutes to discuss their work followed by a question and answer period. Our host for this year’s conference is the newly built JW Marriott Hotel, which is located in the heart of downtown Austin. Specific information about the hotel can be found at www.jwmarriottaustin.com. Conference registration information and travel and tourism details are provided online at www.nanonline.org. This year’s program would not be possible without the support of NAN President Grant Iverson, Executive Director William Perry, the Board of Directors, Poster Chair Jason Bailie, the Student Volunteers (lead by Victoria Merritt and Kyle Jennette), and the 2015 Program Committee. I would also like to extend my deepest appreciation to the dedicated staff at the NAN Office: Heather Santos, Allison Mendrys, and Kim Roland. We look forward to seeing you in Austin in November!
