CHOP at the American Epilepsy Society Annual Meeting 2017
Published on in CHOP News
As one of the largest and most comprehensive epilepsy treatment programs in the nation, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Pediatric Epilepsy Program is an active participant in the annual meeting of the American Epilepsy Society (AES). Several of our physicians also serve in leadership roles within the AES and its various committees.
The AES Annual Meeting offers extensive education on everything epilepsy, from best practices to breakthrough thinking. From Dec. 1 – 5, 2017, many members of CHOP’s Pediatric Epilepsy Program team were in attendance in Washington, D.C., to present on their work in epilepsy management.
Our team members are engaged in basic science research to define epilepsy mechanisms and management approaches; translational research to bring those advances into clinical practice; and clinical research spanning epidemiological studies, drug studies, epilepsy surgery studies, and critical care epilepsy studies.
