Summary: Epilepsy education continues to be an essential component of every epilepsy organization'smission. Ongoing educational programs are an essential part of epilepsy patient care. A few basic rules to ensure success are to: (a) identify needs by users, not providers; (b) target programs to the specific audience; (c) remember that people learn by different methods; (d) take advantage of teachable moments; (e) account for transcultural differences; and (f) modify programs based on systemative evaluation and feedback.
