The main goal is to improve the ability of neurologists in underserved regions to diagnose and treat patients with epilepsy by creating a collaborative Center to Center Program between an expert center (University of Montreal Health Center) and a center in an underserved region (Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, Trinidad and Tobago) that wants to develop capacity to treat epilepsy. This will be done over a period of two years through:
- Fourteen monthly webinars on various topics related to epilepsy
- Monthly one-hour tele-educational clinical grand rounds
- In-person visits: two-month visit by the mentee to the mentor site and two in-person visits of the mentee site by the mentor for a three-day epilepsy educational symposium
