Understanding Gaps in Education on Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures

A study explored the educational needs of child neurology residents regarding psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES), revealing significant gaps in understanding. Despite residents expressing confidence in their management abilities, many reported feeling under-informed about the condition. This discrepancy highlights the importance of developing standardized curricula that better address the complexities associated with diagnosing and treating PNES. The study emphasizes that both residents and program directors see a clear need for enhanced training and educational resources in this area.
