About Office of Academic Affairs (OAA)

With a common purpose to put ‘Patients at the heart of all we do’, NNI is committed to advance Academic Medicine (AM). AM gives clinicians and faculty the ability to think, study, research, discover, innovate, evaluate, teach, learn and improve. By incorporating and emphasizing medical education and research into clinical work, clinicians develop a spirit of continuous question-asking, reviewing data and constant innovating. Through AM, clinicians and faculty drive the future of medical practice with world-class research and clinical trials, leading to the highest level of clinical care, backed by evidence-based practice. It will be a great opportunity for real improvement to perfect outcomes. With AM, patients know they are in a place where the best options in medicine will be given to them.

OAA is thus created to provide the support needed to create the AM culture in NNI and groom future Neuroscience experts and leaders.
