Pediatric Epilepsy: New and Novel Approaches to Care

Friday, August 13, 2021, 8:00 AM - Saturday, August 14, 2021, 6:00 PM

The program is completely virtual and all registered attendees will have access to the conference virtual platform, including all full lectures, for 30 days post conference.  This gives registrants a great deal of flexibility and ensures they won’t miss out on any pertinent information that applies to their field.

This virtual conference highlights new and novel approaches to care in surgery, genetics, pharma and dietary treatments in care for the pediatric patient with epilepsy. Through formal education, this conference will improve the medical knowledge of those who diagnose and treat epilepsy. The agenda and objectives will specifically focus on technology/equipment, stereo EEG in surgical evaluation, cortical and subcortical mapping, current role of ECOG, epilepsy surgery, continuous EEG in NICU and PICU, electroclinical correlation for epilepsy syndromes, autoimmune epilepsy therapy, neonatal epilepsy therapy, epidemiology, genetic epilepsies, tuberous sclerosis, MEG in epilepsy surgery, and electronic medical record and bioinformatics in epilepsy care.

Target Audience: 

This program is geared toward the epilepsy team: epileptologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, nuclear medicine specialists, neuropsychologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, dietitians, EEG/IOM technologists, genetics counselors, social workers and program administrators.
