The Notorious EEG (M. Scott Perry MD)

Supporting #epilepsy research has never been more important! Please consider supporting the mission of the Pediatric Epilepsy Research Consortium this year and help us reach our match! ⬇️

November is #EpilepsyAwareness month 💜 and I was happy to sit down recently with the For Kids’ Sake podcast of Cook Children's Health Care System to review the basics about diagnosing #epilepsy, seizure first aid and seizure action plans, epilepsy myths, and what is exciting to me about the future of epilepsy therapy.

Hope you enjoy! 🎧 🎥 👇🏻

Epilepsy Explained: What Caregivers Need to Know About Seizures checkupnewsroom.com/epilepsy-expla…

This weekend I traveled back to where it all started. About 2 decades ago I sat on row 3 at Graylyn conference center for a 3 day intensive course on #epilepsy. I learned from the best in the biz and decided that weekend that I wanted to be an epileptologist.

I returned this weekend to teach as part of the genetic epilepsy minifellowship. Sharing my knowledge with peds and adult fellows that maybe one day will also pursue a career in genetic epilepsy.

The Penry Epilepsy Programs change the course of many people’s careers and I’m honored to be able to participate in creating the next generation of epilepsy leaders!

The times (and trials) are a changing. Clinical trials are adapting to meet the demands and needs of the #epilepsy community - hopefully bringing better treatments to more people and looking beyond seizure reduction as the only outcome measure.

Fresh off the @ChildNeuroSoc annual meeting - it’s already time to recognize your colleagues for next year’s meeting!
