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.
