Cerebrovascular case conference
This interdisciplinary conference takes place weekly and is led by the interventional neuroradiology fellow.
At this meeting, we discuss the treatment planning for complex patients and review cases for quality improvement purposes. It is also an excellent learning opportunity for residents, advanced practice nurses, and fellows.
Recent cases reviewed include complex intracranial aneurysms, dural arteriovenous fistulae, arteriovenous malformations, and thrombolysis.
To submit a case for this conference, please contact one of the program physicians.

Stroke protocols
Stroke alert training
We offer simulation lab mock stroke alert training for neurology residents and emergency department providers.
The goals of this exercise are to improve:
- The selection of patients for intravenous thrombolysis
- The detection of stroke mimics, basic CT scan interpretation, and acute blood pressure management
