Webinar Series. In 2011, Stroke initiated a series of educational webinars that occur on a bimonthly basis.
These webinars cover important topics in the cerebrovascular disease field, especially those with recent advances that will impact clinicians and researchers. The intention of the webinars is to provide participants with current and novel information on high-impact topics. The webinars consist of a structured lecture with appropriate slides by acknowledged thought leaders relevant to the topic under discussion.

There is no CME/CE certification for this series. REGISTER now for the webinar on January 27, 2015. David J.
