find the education and networking opportunities hard to beat. In addition to plenaries, the program features
tracks for both novices and veterans. Topics for the beginner include Stroke 101, Stroke in the first 24

patient through every step of a stroke – from prevention to rehabilitation – so participants can experience the
entire journey of a stroke survivor and return to their department/hospital with a better focus to improve how
