This introductory module provides a comprehensive overview of stroke medicine and interventional neurology. Learners develop a strong understanding of cerebrovascular anatomy, cerebral circulation, stroke epidemiology, and the burden of neurological diseases worldwide. The module also introduces stroke classification, current treatment pathways, multidisciplinary stroke care, and the evolving role of neurointerventional procedures in improving patient outcomes.

This module explores the biological mechanisms underlying ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Learners examine vascular pathology, thrombosis, embolism, atherosclerosis, hypertension, cardiac disorders, metabolic diseases, and genetic influences contributing to stroke risk while understanding preventive strategies.

This module develops competency in the rapid assessment and stabilization of acute stroke patients. Learners master neurological examination, stroke scales, emergency imaging protocols, thrombolysis eligibility, prehospital stroke systems, and emergency department management.

This module provides in-depth training in mechanical thrombectomy and endovascular stroke therapies. Learners understand patient selection, vascular access techniques, thrombectomy devices, procedural planning, complication management, and evidence-based intervention protocols.

This module focuses on the diagnosis and interventional treatment of intracranial aneurysms and vascular malformations. Learners study aneurysm morphology, AVMs, dural fistulas, embolization techniques, and advanced endovascular devices used in neurovascular interventions.

This module covers the evaluation and management of extracranial cerebrovascular disease. Learners gain expertise in carotid artery stenting, angioplasty, vertebral artery interventions, patient selection, imaging interpretation, and complication management.

This module emphasizes comprehensive management of intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral edema, elevated intracranial pressure, and neurocritical care. Learners integrate intensive care principles with interventional neurology.

This module introduces the latest technologies and devices used in neurointerventional procedures. Learners understand catheter systems, guidewires, balloons, stents, embolic materials, robotic interventions, and emerging innovations in cerebrovascular treatment.

This module highlights multidisciplinary rehabilitation following stroke. Learners understand physical rehabilitation, occupational therapy, speech therapy, cognitive recovery, psychological care, community reintegration, and long-term follow-up.

This module develops research competence in cerebrovascular medicine. Learners study clinical trial methodology, evidence-based practice, neurointerventional registries, ethics, informed consent, quality improvement, and guideline development.

The final module integrates theoretical knowledge with supervised clinical training and advanced procedural exposure. Learners participate in stroke units, neurointerventional suites, multidisciplinary discussions, case presentations, procedural simulations, and complete a capstone research or quality improvement project demonstrating competency in stroke and interventional neurology.
