Advanced Stroke Life Support (ASLS)
In the United States, stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability and a leading cause of death. The Advanced Stroke Life Support (ASLS) course aims to educate healthcare providers in order to optimize the identification, evaluation, and management of patients with stroke. The ASLS course is appropriate for all healthcare providers involved in the management of acute stroke patients and exceeds the Joint Commission requirements for stroke center certification education. The course is nationally accredited and includes didactic, practice, video case workshop, review and pre- and post-course assessments.
