Coronavirus (COVID-19): latest updates and how to get care. Or use the virtual assistant below right to check symptoms.
Timely treatment options for acute stroke care are at clinicians finger tips for use in practice today. If you are a part of the emergency medicine, cardiology, or neurology healthcare teams including physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, and nurses, this education is for you.
This virtual conference will provide learners the opportunity to listen to internationally renowned clinicians from Stanford, Medical University of South Carolina, and CommonSpirit Health, and engage in a panel discussion with the faculty.
Upon completion of this education, you will be able to consider the best alternative according to the most current evidence when choosing a thrombolytic to administer to acute stroke patients; identify and administer current best therapy for patients with symptomatic intracranial stenosis, and appraise endovascular therapy and other trials to lower the risk of secondary stroke; and evaluate their current standards of care and determine how a fully functioning TeleStroke service would impact their ability to provide high quality care.
Please join the Dignity Health Neuroscience Institute of Northern California's annual Stroke Update as we all work together to find the best treatment alternatives for acute stroke patients.
