Dr. Saien Lai returns from the Penry Residents Epilepsy Program taking place June 7-10 at the Graylyn International Conference Center of Wake Forest University in North Carolina. The intensive three-day course offered resident-level focused didactics on antiepileptic management, childhood epilepsy syndromes and acute seizure management. In addition to lectures during the day, Dr. Lai also attended dinners with small-group case discussions with faculty into late evenings. Attendees to the conference are nominated by program directors of selected neurology programs.
Dr. Lai was joined by Yale epileptologist Dr. Mattson, a course director and one of the chairs of the program.
After completion of her fourth year of residency, Dr. Lai will be joining Stanford for epilepsy fellowship starting 2017.
