Resident EEG Course

2025 AES Resident EEG Course

The nomination period for 2025 has closed.

 

AES is once again offering its popular live Resident EEG Course as an introduction to the current practice of EEG. This year, the course will host 40 residents over two full days at the AES Annual Meeting in Atlanta.  The Resident EEG Course will take place on Friday, December 5 – Saturday, December 6.

 

The purpose of this multi-day course is to provide an interactive structured curriculum on pediatric and adult electroencephalography (EEG), taught by a variety of epileptologist educators. Historical, physiological, and technical aspects of EEG will be discussed. The course will use multiple learning strategies including focused brief didactic lectures, structured hands-on experience and educator-led small group sessions, mentoring, and networking sessions with peers and experts in the field. The bulk of the course will be a boot camp of EEG interpretation including the ABCs of artifact, benign variants, and coma patterns; the gamut from encoches frontales to electrocerebral silence; the spectrum of interictal to ictal patterns; and more! 

Course Aims:

  • Stimulate early interest in EEG and its application among neurology residents.
  • Facilitate early development of interest in epilepsy among neurology trainees.
  • Provide opportunities of networking for neurology trainees at the incipient career level.
