Description:
This website presents stroke curriculum that is being developed collaboratively by the American Stroke Association and the University of Massachusetts Medical School. The curriculum "is designed to be interwoven with first- and second-year Neuroscience courses, and can also be used for review purposes during Clinical Clerkships and Electives." The website is still under development, and currently offers six active learning modules including Stroke/TIA, Stroke Risk Factors, Blood Supply of CNS, Carotid, and more. Yet to be developed modules include Hemorrhagic Stroke, Pathology of Stroke, Future Therapies, and Uncommon Strokes. Eventually all of the modules will include supplementary tables, diagrams, radiographic images, gross and microscopic specimens, interactive case histories, self-tests, and patient videos. The website currently offers a Glossary, downloadable modules for students, and accompanying PowerPoint presentations for faculty.
