Just 10.4% (17.3% of medical students) felt their medical training adequately covered epilepsy surgery. Only 10.6% (24.7% of medical students) correctly identified partial\/focal epilepsy as surgically treatable, and 14.6% (30% of medical students) believed the benefits of surgery were high. \u201cDRE\u201d was correctly recognized by 44.2% overall (30% of medical students). Medical students had the highest knowledge scores (12.33 \u00b1 4.04), followed by nursing (10.71 \u00b1 2.87), pharmacy (9.94 \u00b1 2.12), and laboratory students (9.85 \u00b1 1.52).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A significant knowledge gap exists regarding epilepsy surgery among healthcare students and interns.
