Dear Applicant:
Thank you for your interest in the EEG/Epilepsy Course. We accept applicants twice a year: February and July. Our next course will begin on July 8, 2024. If you are interested in either of the upcoming courses, please email your interest along with your completed application and the required documents to Tamika Cammon, Academic Education Coordinator at Tamika.Cammon@UHhospitals.org, and Jun.Park@UHhospitals.org.
We have received questions whether the course can be offered virtually. After much consideration, the steering committee determined that a virtual course will not offer the same quality of education. The pillar of the EEG/Epilepsy course at UH is the daily, interactive discussions of concepts being taught. Without the face-to-face interactions, the quality of education simply will not meet our expectation. Thank you for your understanding as we work through these challenging times.
Sincerely,
Jun Park, MD

Professor of Pediatrics and Neurology

Course Description
The EEG/Epilepsy/Clinical Physiology course at University Hospitals is an intensive, eight-week course designed to instruct in core competencies related to epilepsy and clinical neurophysiology. The course is limited to 30 to 35 participants; sessions will be held at UH Cleveland Medical Center.
The course begins with an introduction to basic EEG. Subsequent topics include adult and pediatric EEG interpretation, seizure semiology, sleep, anti-epileptic medications and women’s issues. Trainees are then given an overview of intra-operative monitoring.
Trainees are expected to attend the weekly Epilepsy Grand Rounds, Epilepsy Surgical Case Management Conferences, Neurology Grand Rounds and research meetings. Every Tuesday and Thursday morning, the trainees will attend the EEG unknown, seizure semiology, evoked potential, and SEEG interpretation sessions presented by the fellows and moderated by Dr. Hans Lüders. In addition, there are daily routine EEG and extended EEG review sessions. All sessions are interactive.

Professor Hans Lüders organized the first International Electroencephalography (EEG)/Epilepsy Course in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1979. His vision was to impart a framework of basic knowledge in EEG and epilepsy. The course participants are assumed to have no prior knowledge of EEG or epilepsy.
