Event Type Skills Workshop

Director(s) Jessica Falco-Walter, MD

Topic(s) Epilepsy/Clinical Neurophysiology (EEG)

Learning Objectives Participants should become familiar with how to perform basic programming for vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), deep brain stimulation (DBS), and responsive nerve stimulation (RNS) for epilepsy. There will be case based presentation of typical programming and then hands-on programming with simulation/programmers for participants to practice. Participants will have opportunities to interact with leaders in programming to learn and enhance their neuromodulation skills for epilepsy.

This program is supported in part by an educational grant, specifically monetary and in-kind support of medical equipment and supplies, from LivaNova USA, Inc. This program is also supported in part by educational grants, specifically in-kind support of medical equipment and supplies, from NeuroPace and Medtronic.
