Director of the Epilepsy Summer School
Aim of the advanced course is to teach attendees to: (1) recognise the co-morbidities commonly associated with epilepsy, specifically focusing on the ”transition” issue (2) review the effects of antiepileptic drugs on behaviour and cognitive function (3) review the role for epilepsy surgery in children
The course is primarily targeted at neuropediatricians, neurophysiologists, and neuropsychiatrists interested in the pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of epilepsies of childhood, and in research programs implementing in childhood epilepsy. Physicians who are pursuing their training or have recently specialized in pediatric neurology, pediatrics, epileptology or clinical neurophysiology, and PhDs or PhD students are welcome to apply. The course will be limited to a maximum of 50 applicants to allow an optimal level of interaction with the faculty. Applicants will be selected on the basis of their CVs and consideration will be given to ensure participation of trainees from different geographical origins and disciplines.
