الوصف: Objective The Education and Career Task Force of the Young Epilepsy Section‐Italy focuses on educational and career development needs of young Italian epileptologists. Two surveys were developed (pre‐ and post COVID‐19 pandemic) in order to identify the needs of members of the Lega Italiana Contro l'Epilessia under 40 years of age. Methods The first was distributed during the 42nd National Congress (Rome, June 5–7, 2019); the second during the 45th National Congress (Padova, June 8–10, 2022) and subsequently by e‐mail until July 9, 2022. Data from the 2019 survey were analyzed descriptively. Data from the 2022 survey were further analyzed with Pearson's chi‐square test to establish if gender, field of clinical practice, and professional role were associated with different needs. Results Sixty surveys were completed in 2019 and 69 in 2022. Attendance to courses and congresses as the preferred way to keep medical knowledge updated reduced between 2019 and 2022. The reason was different between trainees (mostly elevated costs) and early‐career consultants (mostly organizational issues) ( p = 0.005). The main needs for improvement also diverged: trainees indicated differential diagnosis and diagnostic approach to the first seizure while consultants indicated diagnostic approach to genetic epilepsies ( p = 0.004); in the genetic field, priority needs were selection of genetic investigations for trainees versus genotype–phenotype correlations for consultants ( p = 0.022). The field of practice (pediatric vs. adult) also impacted on the main needs for improvement that is, acquisition of expertise in neuroradiology and drug therapy for pediatric versus genetics for adult neurology trainees or consultants ( p = 0.018); in the clinical area, differential diagnosis and approach to the first seizure versus status epilepticus ( p = 0.027); in the genetic field, precision medicine versus genotype–phenotype correlations ( p = 0.034). No differences were found based on gender. Significance The surveys identified ...
