Introduction
Our Epilepsy Refresher course guarantees that trainees will have full up-to-date compliance with ILAE and ENSA guidelines between the full competency course every 24 months. Upon course completion, trainees will be fully certificated in epilepsy training for a maximum 12-month period, after which course reattendance will be required for compliance.
