Case Conversations: Practical Scenarios in Adult Epilepsy Care
This CME dinner event will feature three real-world case presentations designed to strengthen your approach to managing adults living with epilepsy. The discussion will center on driving and epilepsy, drawing on cases seen by colleagues, and will also explore important considerations in epilepsy care for young female patients and when caring for transgender patients.
Presented in an interactive format, these cases will encourage collaborative discussion and provide practical strategies for diverse clinical settings. Whether you are a primary care physician seeking actionable guidance, a neurology trainee, or an epilepsy specialist, these sessions will deliver insights to support best-practice care and patient safety.
