Resident EEG Course

2026 AES Resident EEG Course

 

AES presents its popular live Resident EEG Course, designed to introduce residents to modern EEG practices. This year, the course will host 40 residents over two full days at the AES Annual Meeting in Denver, CO. The Resident EEG Course will occur on Friday, December 4 – Saturday, December 5.

The purpose of this multi-day course is to provide an interactive structured curriculum on pediatric and adult electroencephalography (EEG), taught by a variety of epileptologist educators. Historical, physiological, and technical aspects of EEG will be discussed. The course will use multiple learning strategies including focused brief didactic lectures, structured hands-on experience and educator-led small group sessions, mentoring, and networking sessions with peers and experts in the field. The bulk of the course will be a boot camp of EEG interpretation including the ABCs of artifact, benign variants, and coma patterns; the gamut from encoches frontales to electrocerebral silence; the spectrum of interictal to ictal patterns; and more! 

Course Aims

  • Stimulate early interest in EEG and its application among neurology residents.
  • Facilitate early development of interest in epilepsy among neurology trainees.
  • Provide opportunities of networking for neurology trainees at the incipient career level.
Applications Open Summer 2026
