Biographical Sketch
Dr. Bagić has focused his clinical practice on diagnosing and treating (pharmacologically and nonpharmacologically) patients with the most challenging epilepsies and optimizing the use of magnetoencephalography (MEG) in the process of presurgical evaluation of patients with medication resistant epilepsy (MRE). He continues to work passionately on advancing clinical MEG practice nationally and spearheading national and international efforts leading towards the first internationally accepted MEG Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG). Dr. Bagić continues to cultivate his research engagements with the CMU Bioengineering and intensify advocacy work through the Epilepsy Association of Western and Central PA and Epilepsy Alliance America (EAA).
