    Awareness and Access to Care for Children and Youth with Epilepsy
    Role Description: In the REACT project, we will also partner with PCPs and pediatric epilepsy specialists in Kansas to provide needed continuing medical education that will improve care for CYE at the PCPs’ offices. Finally, we will partner with adult epileptologists to provide training and guidance for the transition of care to adult neurology for CYE, starting at age 14, with the goal of a smooth transition occurring when the CYE reaches age 21.
    Role: Principle Investigator
