Updates in Seizures and Epilepsy

February 18, 2021

This Practical Community Pediatrics Session is Presented by
The Brain Institute at Nicklaus Children's Hospital

This session will review seizure first-aid and the importance of the eye-witness, advancements in seizure and epilepsy management, and how to counsel families affected by epilepsy in the times of Covid.

 

The Practical Community Pediatrics (PCP) series was created to meet the needs of the primary care physician in the community. Our needs assessment survey revealed that the community providers are not always able to attend our Grand Rounds Sessions at NCH due the inability to leave their offices. In addition to being able to attend virtually, the specialists at NCH recognized the need for continuous education of the community providers on the care of various diseases. The specialists identified a need due to inappropriate or delayed referrals and/or work-ups and identified areas that the primary care physicians should be able to take care of in their offices without the need for specialist intervention.

Target Audience

Primary Care Physicians, Medical Students, Sub-Specialty Physicians, Office Staff, and Community Agencies

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:

  1. Perform and teach caregivers seizure-first aid
  2. Be aware of recent advances in abortive seizure medications and epilepsy management
  3. Counsel families affected by epilepsy in the times of Covid
