2017 Epilepsy Symposium – Asheville

Join your healthcare colleagues at this regional, annual symposium to learn the latest on the diagnosis, management and support of epilepsy.

Persons with epilepsy (and family members) are also welcome to attend and must pre-register. This knowledge-based, continuing education will provide physicians and other healthcare providers — and persons with epilepsy and their families — with current knowledge regarding the diagnosis and management of seizures.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

• Discuss basic seizure types, classification and diagnosis — including inpatient EEG monitoring
• List initial medications to try, adjunctive medications and medication side effects
• Describe treatments for refractory epilepsy
• Discuss ancillary services in the treatment of persons with epilepsy
• Consider the psychosocial impacts of epilepsy from a patient’s perspective
