UCSF CME: PCDH19 Clustering Epilepsy Town Hall 2021

Overview:

We are excited to have you join us for our first PCDH19 Clustering Epilepsy Town Hall. This short virtual meeting is taking the place of our 2 day Professional and Family Conference, which we plan to reschedule for September 2021 (stay tuned for more details to come!)

Dr. Sullivan will provide a short overview on PCDH19 for families who are newer to a diagnosis and have likely never attended a conference in the past.

Each Panel Member will then have a few minutes to give an "elevator-pitch" introduction of themselves and their relationship to/work surrounding PCDH19. Once speakers are done, we will then open up the floor for a moderated Q&A session with our attendees.

LIVE STREAM MEETING
This course will be offered as a live interactive virtual conference.  Login instructions along with the digital syllabus will be shared with attendees a week before the meeting.  Included in your registration fee is access to the course recordings on demand (available within a week after the conference) for any sessions that you miss, available for up to 30 days post-course.
