OVERVIEW :
This symposium presents the blueprints for when, why, and how a clinical care provider should address crucial health topics in epilepsy. Crucial topics include new diagnoses, SUDEP, functional seizures, pregnancy planning, and hormonal therapy for LGBTQ persons with epilepsy also on anti-seizure medication.
This session provides evidence-based information regarding the education and support needed for persons with epilepsy and their families. The goal is to ensure that health care providers have the knowledge and skills necessary to address these topics for optimal delivery of care for persons with epilepsy. Resources for clinic use are also presented.
The AES Advanced Practice Provider (APP) Committee developed a survey to help us learn more about the educational and career planning needs, practice settings, and shed some light on the unique experience of APPs.. Your feedback is important to us!
Please take a moment to complete the brief survey, no later than January 7, 2022.
Thank you for your time and consideration--and for everything you do. We value the perspective and experience you bring to the epilepsy care team and look forward to continuing to serve you and your colleagues.
