Northwestern Medicine’s Sixth Annual Advances in Epilepsy and EEG - A virtual CME program

Epilepsy is a rapidly evolving field. In the last few years, new algorithms for the treatment of new-onset seizures have been developed and new technologies have revolutionized the way we perform epilepsy surgery and brain stimulation to improve seizure control. The purpose of this activity is to update community neurologists and pediatric neurologists, as well as other healthcare providers working in epilepsy centers across the country, on these updates in epilepsy diagnosis and treatment.

Northwestern Medicine is excited to now offer ABPN Self-Assessment CME. Lectures will include self assessment questions with live feedback. Sessions will be followed with live Q&A with our experts and the audience. We hope you will join Northwestern and invited faculty for interactive and engaging discussion.

May 13-14, 2022

After attending this educational activity, participants should be able to:
  1. Identify the distinction between acute symptomatic, provoked and unprovoked seizures and the associated risk for epilepsy.
  2. Outline a systematic approach in evaluating patients who present with a first seizure.
  3. Distinguish the optimal method for invasive EEG evaluation for epilepsy.
  4. Explain the rationale for using electrical seizure stimulation and limitations.
  5. Review the concept behind invasive and noninvasive targets for neuromodulation to treat epilepsy and other brain disorders.
