Essentials of Neurocritical Care (Essentials)


The Essentials of Neurocritical Care (Essentials) course teaches the essential topics of neurocritical care through a combination of online course material in-person case discussions, and hands-on workshops. Prior to the live session, participants will be given access to the online course which includes 14 required core modules with recorded lectures and examinations. Training will culminate at the live session with an intensive two days of discussions and hands-on workshops which will teach specific neurocritical care techniques.
