An Emergency Medicine Milestone-Based Simulation Curriculum: Acute Ischemic Stroke
Introduction The emergency medicine (EM) resident's ability to make independent decisions in the setting of acute ischemic stroke has been reduced as a result of the involvement of multidisciplinary teams. This simulation was created to give EM residents the opportunity to independently manage...
