This learning module is designed for:

Interventional neuroradiologists

Fellow and residents in Interventional Neuroradiology

Proctors who want a 'plug-and-play' curriculum with integrated simulation training with focus on Stroke.
*No previous experience required

The Neurovascular Essentials virtual simulation solution enables training Interventional Neuroradiologists to learn the important initial anatomical steps, device selection, and critical maneuvers to support your trainees on their journey of proficiency-based diagnostic cerebral interventions. With the cloud-based curriculum, remote proctoring, and clear step-by-step program enabling efficient and independent learning, your trainees can experience the best that virtual simulation has to offer.

‍

The learning module includes fully-guided maneuver training for difficult techniques such as Simmons catheter, microcatheter switching, and stentriever deployment in multiple new and complex anatomies. Take the training program a step further and personalize the learning experience of your trainees to align with specific learning objectives by customizing your own curriculum and objective metrics.
