IM Board Prep #4: Seizures and Epilepsy

The Neurotransmitters: Clinical Neurology Education

Send us a Text Message.

Hello and welcome to our mini-series designed to help prepare internal medicine residents get ready for the neurology section of their board exams!
While it is aimed at IM residents, it is a good review for anyone feeling a little rusty on the approach to seizures and epilepsy.
In this episode, we'll be talking about the evaluation of first-time seizure, seizure types, epilepsy syndromes, treatment of epilepsy, as well as management of status epilepticus.

The Neurotransmitters is starting live case based discussions beginning in June 2024.!

If you or someone you know is interested in either presenting a case or being part of the discussion group send an email to [e-mail] with the subject line “Case based discussion.”
Looking forward to hearing from you!
