    Who We Are

    Knowledge-sharing networks create a learning loop. Individuals with epilepsy rely on their local doctors and healthcare providers for care.

    The Epilepsies ECHO Hub connects specialist teams from nationwide Level Four Epilepsy Centers with local care teams to benefit and empower persons living with epilepsies and their families.

    Expert Knowledge from Epilepsy Specialists

    Access a virtual learning network with other providers. This network includes epileptologists, neurologists, genetic counselors, developmental pediatricians, child psychologists, and resource specialists. Care for your patients in your own practice with the support of nationally recognized epilepsy experts. Learn best practices for evidence-based care. 

    Join ongoing virtual epilepsy ECHO sessions by topic, schedule, or location to discuss complex cases for real-time advice. Free Continuing Medical Education (CME) is available as well.

    Epilepsies ECHO Hub Programs

    Since 2019, the Epilepsy Foundation has successfully led, planned, and collaborated on multiple epilepsy related ECHOs nationwide to achieve our goals of reducing seizures and side effects, and improving quality of life for people with epilepsy. Over 1,400 participants have already joined an epilepsy ECHO from the Epilepsy Foundation.

    You will be able to join programs launching, access programs on demand, or learn about past programs.
