The nomination period for the 2024 Resident Epilepsy Surgery Course is now closed.

AES is pleased to once again offer a joint multidisciplinary course with the American Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery (ASSFN) for up to 40 mid- to senior-level neurology and neurosurgery residents. The focus of the course is on the evaluation of patients for epilepsy surgery and the surgery process.

This course aims to:

  • Expand knowledge and share best practices of epilepsy surgery
  • Facilitate the appropriate use of epilepsy surgery as a tool for patients with intractable epilepsy
  • Increase exposure to AES for residents in neurology and neurosurgery to grow the community of practitioners
