Seizure Recognition and First Aid Certification hosted by the Epilepsy Foundation (Separate Registration Required)
Sunday, October 25, 2020
11 am to 12:30 pm MT
(Please note that the time listed from Noon to 2:30 pm MT is incorrect and will be updated by APHA soon.)
Link to registration: https://apha.confex.com/apha/2020/meetingapp.cgi/Session/62119
Epilepsy is the fourth most common neurological problem, but diagnosis and treatment are often delayed. In the past year, 56% of people living with epilepsy (PWE) reported having seizures. Only 1 out of 3 PWE are being treated by a specialist, which highlights epilepsy-related disparities. Many people do not know what to do when a person has a seizure. This can lead to adverse outcomes. Public health professionals encounter PWE in multiple health settings. The Seizure Recognition and First Aid Training provides skills to recognize seizures and safely help someone during a seizure. Certification is valid for a two-year period.
Instructions:
1. Each person must pre-register for the live training.
2. Complete a pre-assessment prior to the training.
3. Attend the live training.
4. Retrieve the post-assessment passcode at the end of the training.
5. Complete a post-assessment after the training.
6. Retrieve the certificate of completion after passing the post-assessment. The certificate can be saved and/or printed before closing the assessment page. The certificate will be automatically emailed as well.
