This webinar series features seven experts from DSF’s Medical Advisory Board who provide guidance and share current treatment approaches with medical professionals who care for patients with Dravet syndrome. Topics span diagnostic considerations, adult presentation and transition of care, telemedicine, new FDA-approved medications, and seizure rescue action plans. Individual webinars consist of a 30-minute presentation followed by a Q&A. This series is particularly relevant for adult neurologists beginning to see adult patients who have recently transitioned out of pediatric care.
