Medical advancements are revolutionizing the way healthcare providers diagnose and treat epilepsy, a condition affecting millions.  In the U.S. alone, over 3.4 million individuals, or 1 in 26 will be diagnosed with epilepsy, making it the fourth most common neurological disease.   Physicians need additional knowledge and tools to assess, diagnose, treat, and manage both pediatric and adult epilepsy patients.  Primary care providers, nurses, and allied professionals are increasingly being charged to provide the basic tasks of early intervention and coordination of care for these patients.  This lecture is designed to educate healthcare professionals on the steps necessary to, with the help of other experts in the field, diagnosis and treat these individuals, which should result in better quality of care and ultimately, improved patient outcomes.
