The Neurotransmitters: Clinical Neurology Education

Send us a text

Hello and welcome to our mini-series designed to help prepare internal medicine residents get ready for the neurology section of their board exams!
While it is aimed at IM residents, it is a good review for anyone feeling a little rusty on the approach to seizures and epilepsy.
In this episode, we'll be talking about the evaluation of first-time seizure, seizure types, epilepsy syndromes, treatment of epilepsy, as well as management of status epilepticus.
