A headshot of Dr Rana Said
Dr. Said served as program director of the UTSW Child Neurology Residency for 20 years prior to transitioning into the role of the Director of Pediatric Neurology Education and Associate Clinical Chief of the Division of Pediatric Neurology earlier this year. In her time as program director, she received many accolades nationally, most recently receiving distinctions from the top neurology and child neurology institutions, such as the Child Neurology Society's 2023 Training Program Director of the Year Award and the 2024 American Academy of Neurology Residency Program Director Recognition Award. In recognition of this new crowning achievement, she will give a keynote speech at the Academy's annual meeting in April and receive a framed award certificate with a $1500 cash prize.
So delighted to learn the amazing Dr. Rana Said won the @aanmember.bsky.social 2025 A.B.Baker Award for Lifetime Achievement in Neurological Education, in recognition of her many contributions and innovation in medical education πππ

Very cool!

Women are great at insisting on seeking help, usually forcing men to seek help who often downplay symptoms π
