Internet Training Takes Stroke Education Around The Globe

National Stroke Association and i3CME have partnered to deliver free National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) exams using an innovative trainingcampus platform.


The online NIHSS exams provide a free and easily accessible form of continuing education for emergency physicians, neurologists, nurses, clinical researchers and medical students. This is the first curriculum to focus on the NIH Stroke Scale education, validated and developed specifically for global internet use.


"Leveraging the internet to distribute the NIH Stroke Scale will bring this important tool to healthcare professionals across the nation, ultimately influencing National stroke Association's mission to reduce the incidence and impact of stroke," Jim Baranski, Chief Executive Officer, National Stroke Association.


The NIH Stroke Scale is a series of questions administered with patients to assess acute stroke and determine the severity of the stroke before treatment is decided upon and administered. Use of the NIHSS includes documentation of neurologic status and outcome, data collection for planning safe nursing care and standardization of information exchanges between nurse caregivers and other health care professionals.


To access the NIHSS exams in English, practitioners can go to nihss-english.trainingcampus/.
