Rochester, MN US
September 24, 2026 to September 25, 2026

This course offers a Live (in-person) attendance option

Course Directors - Brian Lundstrom, M.D., Ph.D., and Jamie Van Gompel, M.D.

September 24 - 25, 2026 - Leighton Auditorium, Siebens Building, Mayo Clinic - Rochester, Minnesota

Epilepsy treatment using stimulation therapies is a rapidly developing field of practice. Many established neurologists and neurosurgeons are not familiar with the latest technological and surgical advances. For example, providers may not be clear when invasive versus noninvasive therapies for epilepsy treatment are most appropriate or what options exist. Similarly, practitioners may not know how or when to apply vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) versus responsive neurostimulation (RNS) versus deep stimulation.

Target Audience

Physicians, fellows, residents, PAs/NPs, nurses, engineers, researchers, graduate and medical students, and industry employees.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Explain the importance of neurostimulation to multidisciplinary epilepsy teams and patients.
  • Demonstrate advanced programming techniques for Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS), Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS), and Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS).
  • Describe advanced surgical techniques for placement of stimulation devices for epilepsy.
  • Describe when non-invasive stimulation or invasive stimulation may be preferred.

Attendance at any Mayo Clinic course does not indicate or guarantee competence or proficiency in the skills, knowledge or performance of any care or procedure(s) which may be discussed or taught in this course.
