Chae Soo-an, the next president, graduated from Chung-Ang University School of Medicine and obtained a master's and doctorate degrees from the graduate school. After serving as a pediatrician at Seoul National University Hospital and a neurologist fellow at Mayo Clinic in the United States, he has specialized in pediatric neurological diseases and pediatric cramps at Chung-Ang University Hospital since 1996, and served as an academic member of the Korean Epilepsy Society, chairman of the Basic Research Committee, and auditor.




Chae Soo-an, the next chairman, said, `We will continue to develop basic and clinical research on the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy, and strive to establish comprehensive and comprehensive treatment for epilepsy patients.'
