Question practice

Questions drawn from the realities of Epilepsy

Practise explaining the clinical decisions, patient conversations and career experiences that matter in Epilepsy—then handle follow-ups that ask for evidence behind your first answer.

1. 01

   How do you envision an epilepsy fellowship building upon your foundational neurology residency training to enhance your expertise in seizure disorders?

2. 02

   During a VEEG study, you observe recurrent brief rhythmic delta activity over the right temporal region without clear clinical correlate; what is your differential diagnosis, and what steps would you take next?

   You witness a junior resident misinterpreting a critical ictal EEG finding during VEEG review, potentially leading to delayed or incorrect treatment for an epilepsy patient; what are your ethical obligations and how do you address this?

5. 05

   How do you stay updated with the latest clinical trials and research findings in epilepsy, and what resources do you find most valuable?

6. 06
