About the Comprehensive Epilepsy Program:
The Comprehensive Epilepsy Program at the Medical College of Wisconsin has adult and pediatric components located in adjacent hospital complexes with separate epilepsy monitoring units and well-established epilepsy surgery programs. Both programs are independently listed as NAEC Level IV Programs. Our program offers a comprehensive suite of diagnostic and treatment options for patients with epilepsy including inpatient Video-EEG monitoring, state-of-the-art MR imaging, PET-MRI, Magnetoencephalography (MEG), functional-MRI, invasive intracranial EEG studies (subdural and Stereo-EEG), resective epilepsy surgeries, and Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT), as well as neurostimulation therapies including Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS), Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), and Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS). The program serves a large region of eastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois. The adult epilepsy program is currently staffed by 5 adult epileptologists, two epilepsy surgeons, and one nurse practitioner, and is supported by a program coordinator and a team of epilepsy nurses and electrodiagnostic technicians.
The Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) is the state’s only private medical school and health sciences graduate school. MCW consists of a School of Medicine with campuses in Milwaukee, Green Bay and central Wisconsin, a School of Graduate Studies, and a Pharmacy School. MCW is a major national research center ranking in the top third of U.S. medical schools in NIH funding and is the second largest research institution in Wisconsin. The core of everything we do at the MCW is academic medicine, which brings together scientists, clinicians, students, and community members to solve challenges in health and society. MCW is a diverse group of thought leaders collaborating to build a healthier world. Every study we conduct, and every patient we see, leads to new learning and a continuous cycle of life-changing knowledge.
Approximately 1,780 MCW physicians and approximately 905 advanced practice providers care for more than 484,000 patients of all ages annually at Children’s Wisconsin, Froedtert Hospital, Zablocki VA Medical Center and many other hospitals and clinics in eastern Wisconsin, representing more than 5.1 million patient visits annually.
The beautiful, safe, and modern campus of the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center (MRMC) houses Froedtert Hospital, Children’s Wisconsin, Curative Care Network, Versiti Blood CResearch Institute, and the Milwaukee County Behavioral Health Division. These member entities share a common mission of excellence in patient care, medical education, biomedical research, and community service.
Milwaukee, the largest city in Wisconsin, is located on Lake Michigan’s western shore. A metropolitan area with more than 1.5 million people, Milwaukee is an affordable, comfortable place to live, work, and play, big enough to be exciting and uncongested enough to get around easily. Milwaukee’s many neighborhoods have incredible charm, accommodating a variety of lifestyles, from high-rise apartments to small farms. Nestled along a magnificent bluff overlooking Lake Michigan, Milwaukee’s downtown is home to botanical gardens, museums, a theater district, the world champion Milwaukee Bucks, the Milwaukee Brewers, and many fine restaurants. The lake and its harbors are skirted by scenic parklands and provide first-class opportunities for recreation, including hiking, cycling, boating, and more. A recent study ranked Milwaukee as the 15th most walkable of the 50 largest US cities.
