Welcome to the NIH Stroke Scale - English Program

This is the first and only program originally designed to focus exclusively on NIH Stroke Scale education. The target audiences for this FREE CME / CH accredited program are emergency physicians, neurologists, nurses, clinical research raters and medical students. Originally, the NIH Stroke Scale was designed by the NIH and the current video materials it utilizes were developed by the NINDS. This is the first public electronic curriculum, validated and developed specifically for global internet use. We believe the NIH Stroke Scale International program is a beneficial use of your tax dollars and a critical component in acute stroke assessment training.

This free educational website is hosted by National Stroke Association and accreditation is provided by OptumHealth Education.
