Not applicable (study roadmap). In suspected acute stroke: activate local stroke alert/emergency response immediately and document last known well time.

What you'll learn

  • Describe the main knowledge domains for stroke specialization study
  • Create a 4–8 week study plan
  • Use retrieval practice (question blocks) mapped to domains

Domain map

  • Neuroanatomy + stroke syndromes
  • Hyperacute evaluation + reperfusion
  • Diagnostics + etiology workup
  • Stroke unit/ICU nursing care + complications
  • Secondary prevention
  • Rehab + life after stroke
  • Systems of care + QI metrics

Study plan template

  • Week-by-week sequencing
  • Daily 20–30 min question blocks
  • Weekly cumulative review

Assessment plan

  • Use mixed question sets
  • Track weak areas
  • Re-test after 7 days
