The Certificate Program for the Seizure and Epilepsy Healthcare Professional is an assessment-based certificate program that uses instructional design principles to deliver an online self-study educational course followed by post-assessments. This course will equip the learner with the tools they need to safely care for patients with Seizures and Epilepsy, while providing the type of quality care demanded by your institution. The primary purpose of this certificate program is to provide foundational knowledge to provide evidence-based care to patients who have seizures and epilepsy, who are admitted to an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit, and who are being evaluated for and/or undergoing surgery for medically refractory epilepsy.
Participants can earn 11 CE contact hours and 2.25 pharmacology hours by completing the course and passing the post-assessment with a score of >80% or higher.
