So the goal of the strokes course is,
0:08
stroke is a fifth leading cause of death.
0:11
It's a large contributor to
0:13
morbidity and mortality in the U.S.
0:16
and around the world.
0:18
However, if recognized early,
0:20
you can greatly reduce the morbidity and
0:22
mortality with IV TPA and thrombectomy.
0:27
This is a comprehensive course that will help
0:29
all of you improve your ability to recognize
0:31
imaging signs of stroke and stroke mimics,
0:34
and improve patient care.
0:40
I'm currently the vice chair of education
0:43
at Massachusetts General Hospital
0:45
and the Mass General Brigham Enterprise.
0:47
And I'm a professor of radiology
0:49
at Harvard Medical School.
0:51
I've been around for a long time
0:54
and my two favorite interests
0:56
are stroke imaging and education.
0:59
So, I'm going to have a wonderful
1:00
chance today to put these together.
1:05
One beauty about MRI online is that an
1:08
expert scrolls through cases, and then
1:10
you get to look at the cases and scroll
1:12
through them as well, which is unique.
1:14
And I think it really enhances your learning.
1:16
There's some flexibility you can
1:17
do in two minutes or two hours.
1:19
It's adaptable to your learning style.
