Our Mission

The primary mission of the University of Montreal's complex epilepsy transition program (TECUM) is to provide an effective and sustainable transition model for adolescents with complex epilepsy from pediatric healthcare to adult healthcare.

Indeed, this transition can be accompanied by concern and uncertainty as it involves changing the medical team and hospital environment. Therefore, it is important for families and patients to have the necessary support during this crucial period of their lives and to have access to appropriate medical and psychosocial resources during this transition period.

TECUM Questionnaire
Each patient must complete a short questionnaire before coming to the clinic. Please take 5 minutes of your time before your appointment to answer all the questions. Thank you for your attention.
