Expert opinions on pediatric <scp>EEG</scp> training for non‐epilepsy specialists in sub‐Saharan Africa
This study was driven by the inadequate access to training in pediatric EEG for non-epilepsy specialists, which is further exacerbated by the lack of epileptologists and neurophysiologists. The outcomes from the expert consensus opinions promoted consolidation, adaptation, and evolution of existing models that are viable for practice and to be used worldwide. The Delphi consensus demonstrated alignment among regionally located specialists towards the promotion of effective and maintained training for non-epilepsy specialists, as well as highlighting barriers that should be considered and addressed.
