Program Description:
Pediatric clinical neurophysiology is a Training Program , dealing with how the electromagnetic activities of the nerve cells are created, transmitted and recorded in the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and muscles due to the normal and abnormal activities of these tissues in fetuses, infants, children, and adolescents, up to adulthood (at the end of 18 years of age). At first, the content of this course was limited to the electroencephalographic study of children. Later, other electrodiagnostic procedures were also added to the scope of this course, such as electromyography, evoked cerebral and neural potentials, electroencephalographic video monitoring technologies, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, sleep neuropsychological examination in children, and magnetocephalography technology. Today, the accurate diagnosis of neurological diseases in children is possible through the content of this course and it is necessary to establish this course and train experts in this specialized area. The Ministry of Health began planning for a course to educate these experts in 2008. On April 13, 2011, this issue was discussed and adopted in a meeting of the Committee for Policy-making and Expanding Fellowship Courses.
