Walk-Ins Welcome!!


This symposium, now in its 28th year, is a result of requests to the Epilepsy Information Service by pediatric neurologists in the state to develop an educational program to update pediatric neurologists on new information relevant to the treatment of children with epilepsy. The audience focus has primarily been on pediatric neurologists and nurse practitioners/PAs from the Southeastern region of the country, but is not exclusive to that area. The overall goal of this meeting is to improve the care and treatment of children with epilepsy.
