About this course
In an era where stroke stands as a formidable contender in leading causes of mortality and chronic disability, the gap between onset and treatment initiation becomes critically paramount. With each passing minute, irreversible damage to brain tissue accelerates, underscoring the indispensable role of emergency medical personnel in this time-sensitive equation. Given the predominance of stroke victims arriving via ambulance, it's incumbent upon these first responders to possess a nuanced understanding of the diverse stroke types, adeptly recognize its hallmark signs and symptoms, execute swift assessments, and enact strategies that truncate treatment delays, ultimately amplifying the likelihood of favorable patient trajectories. This advanced training equips healthcare professionals with these essential skills, fostering a transformative impact on patient prognoses.

Real reviews, real results
I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
