Skills Workshop
Jessica Falco-Walter, MD, FÂ鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­
Epilepsy/Clinical Neurophysiology (EEG)
Participants should learn basic (and, if time allows, some advanced) programming for vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), deep brain stimulation (DBS), and responsive nerve stimulation (RNS) for epilepsy. This will be interactive, with a case based presentation of typical programming with hands-on use of programmers by participants. Additionally there will be background provided of the trials/data that support the use of these devices and recommendations on how to bring these devices to your practice. Participants will have opportunities to interact with leaders in programming to learn and enhance their skills for programming for epilepsy.
 
This program is supported in part by educational grants, specifically monetary and in-kind support of medical equipment and supplies, from Medtronic and LivaNova USA, Inc. This program is also supported in part by an educational grant, specifically in-kind support of medical equipment and supplies, from NeuroPace.
