On January 10, 2019, Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Los Angeles leadership and board members, along with UCLA faculty members and staff, gathered to celebrate the establishment of the UCLA Care + Cure Pediatric Epilepsy Fellowship Program and the Care + Cure Pediatric Epilepsy Endowed Fellowship. Care + Cure Fellows will undergo both clinical and research training in the specialized field of pediatric neurology and epileptology, which is a growing area for neurologists specializing in epilepsy.

“By funding the specialty training of new pediatric doctors and neurologists at UCLA, the Care + Cure Pediatric Epilepsy Fellowship will help patients and their families, getting us one step closer to helping end epilepsy,” said Dr. Raman Sankar (RES ’89, FEL ’91), chief of the UCLA Division of Pediatric Neurology and professor of neurology and pediatrics.

The evening was hosted by Dr. Kelsey C. Martin, dean of the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and Gerald S. Levey, M.D., Endowed Chair; Dr. Sherin U. Devaskar, chair of the UCLA Department of Pediatrics and Mattel Executive Endowed Chair in Pediatrics; and Dr. Sankar.
