S epi ON is an independent foundation that has been working since 1996 to promote the knowledge of professionals in epilepsy care through further training. An important annual component is the basic epilepsy course, which is intended for physician assistants training to become pediatricians or neurologists.
Since 1996, more than 1,200 pediatric and neurology residents have followed this basic course. From 2011 onwards, the basic epilepsy course will even take place twice a year because it is now a mandatory part of the training for AIOS pediatrics.
