Course Outline and Faculty
This course will provide a forum for existing best practices, guidelines, algorithms, and resources on the management of ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage to be appraised and discussed, as well as an opportunity to develop a plan for individual and team practice improvement.
Specifically, it will address new imaging techniques for cerebral ischemia, new therapeutic approaches to AVMs, imaging and hemodynamics in aneurysm formation, evidencebased stroke care including management of ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage, updates on treatment of TIA and minor stroke, critical care for complex neuro-vascular patients, surgical and endovascular treatments, and the future of stroke rehabilitation.

Course consists of lecture sessions from 8:15 am to 5:15 pm. Lunch will be provided.
