The Association of University Professors of Neurology (AUPN) was founded in 1967 and formally incorporated in 1968. It was organized originally to foster the development of academic neurology's educational, research and patient care programs. The organization has always served as a forum for the Chairs of Departments or Divisions of Neurology in accredited medical schools in the United States, or similar programs in Canada, to discuss mutual academic interests and concerns, and has served as a clearing house to disseminate background information on relevant legislative issues requiring concerted lobbying efforts. In addition to holding two annual meetings, over the years, retreat conferences have been held when issues such as neurological training or manpower required discussion at more length.
