This intensive conference is designed for professionals who participate in the care of people with epilepsy. The overall purpose is to improve services to individuals and families affected by epilepsy.

The conference is presented by the Epilepsy Information Service of Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, through an unrestricted grant committed to the education of health professionals, in an effort to promote the comprehensive care of those with epilepsy and their families.

Intended for fellowship program directors in epilepsy and clinical neurophysiology training programs, this meeting covers key topics critical to staying up-to-date on operating effective epilepsy fellowship programs.

The AES Epilepsy Fellowship Program Directors Meeting is an annual continuing medical education meeting that highlights updates for fellowship program directors and opportunities for discussion on topics including development of educational materials, wellness, board certification, and more.

Explore healthcare equity issues by discussing the impact of implicit bias on clinical care and workforce development in this workshop.

Clinicians care for a diverse population of patients, which requires careful attention to how implicit biases may impact the quality of patient care—and for clinicians involved in hiring, the diversity of their clinical workforce. This session is designed to help epilepsy providers identify, understand and address biases, and manage the risks that these biases can create.
