Teaching Residents, Improving Patient Care

The Neurology Residents Scholar Program (NRSP) is designed for second- and third-year neurology residents as an additional opportunity in epilepsy education. The Neurology Residents Scholar Program is an intensive 2.5-day course that addresses all clinical aspects of epilepsy, including the latest developments in diagnosis and treatment.

Founded by the late Dr. John Gates of the Minnesota Epilepsy Group, PA^®, the NRSP is in its ninth year of educating residents about epilepsy to improve patient care. The curriculum is intended to augment general neurology residency programs. With epilepsy presenting in a third of adult neurological disorders and more than two thirds of pediatric neurological cases, there is a definite need to better inform general neurologists about this condition.

Residents who attend the NRSP are selected by their program directors. Ideal candidates for the program are committed to improving their diagnostic skills and furthering their knowledge of the treatment of epilepsy. During this two-day meeting, residents attend interactive lectures and participate in breakout workshops in which they discuss clinical cases with colleagues from across the United States. Each resident is required to prepare and present one brief case study on an epilepsy-related topic of their choice.

Participants who attend the 2011 NRSP will receive a detailed handout and several other resources relating to the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy.
