Course Overview

In surveys conducted by Baylor College of Medicine among pediatricians attending symposia sponsored by Baylor, respondents have expressed a need to be kept updated on innovations, discoveries, and changes in the approach to diagnosis, care, and management of pediatric patients. The 2000-2001 educational objectives of the American Academy of Pediatrics specifically list topic areas in which pediatricians should have current knowledge. The presentation in this activity addresses the evaluation of the child with the first seizure.

This presentation was developed from the proceedings of the 24th Annual Pediatric Postgraduate Symposium, held on April 25-27, 2002, in Houston, Texas.
