Bečići, Montenegro, October 5-7, 2007.
According to the concept of the International League against Epilepsy and the criteria of the European Academy of Epileptology (Eurepa), since 2003, our Union of Leagues initiated the series (cycle) of Epilepsy schools.
First Epilepsy school in the series was held in Šabac, on November 28th 2003 and brought together 28 participants involved in the developmental epileptology from Serbia, Montenegro and FYR of Macedonia.
During 2003-2006 Union of Leagues organized 8 Epilepsy Schools (Belgrade, Podgorica, Niš, Iriški venac, Niška Banja). Eighth Epilepsy School has taken place in Niška Banja during June 01- 04, 2006. In addition, our Union of Leagues organized two International EEG /Epilepsy Schools:
1. Clinical EEG in the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsies-workshop (Vršac, September 29 – October 1,2006) (Sponsors: Sanofi-Aventis, Hemofarm concern)
2. 1st Migrating Course on Epilepsy, Babe, May 27-June 3, 2007 (ILAE, EAC)
The 9th school was primarily targeted at applicants interested in epileptology and who wish to refine their skills in the pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of epilepsy in patients, through the different ages. Physicians who are pursuing their training or have specialized in neurology, neuropsychiatry, pediatric neurology, pediatrics and clinical neurophysiology were welcome to apply.
