Saving the Brain Online and the Stroke Prevention program was developed to support the Collaborative Stroke Care Network by providing family physicians an evidence-based, interactive, learning experience that can be conveniently accessed any time, any place over the Internet. These modules are no longer current, so they have been archived.
Three online programs based on the Foundation for Medical Practice Education's Primary and Secondary Prevention/TIA module were developed to integrate with the Saving the Brain Collaborative Stroke Care Network needs. You can find out more about the Network here.
