Abstract

Optimal care for people with epilepsy (PwE) requires a multidisciplinary patient-oriented team, a concept that emerged from oncology. This article reviews the role of advanced practice providers, dieticians, psychologists, pharmacists, psychiatrists, and social workers in working alongside neurologists in caring for PwE. The article examines training and licensure requirements, clinical needs, and scope of practice for these disciplines. The review concludes by providing recommendations and a framework for multidisciplinary care for PwE.
