For healthcare providers who diagnose, treat and manage stroke patients This course is intended for in-hospital healthcare providers including physicians, nurses, residents, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, who want to enhance their stroke knowledge and/or receive continuing education credits.
Stroke Hospital-Based Care Online is an interactive, self-directed, eLearning course designed to provide healthcare professionals with high level information and training on the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and management of stroke, as well as on the complications of stroke and stroke mimics. This course features four case-based scenarios that allow students to virtually diagnose and treat patients, and receive immediate feedback based on their actions.
