Provincial Stroke Rounds – Archived Presentations

 

What are Provincial Stroke Rounds? 

Provincial Stroke Rounds (PSR), established in 2008, is an educational program which leverages a virtual platform to deliver provincial lectures on stroke best practices. This program is coordinated and supported by the Ontario Regional Education Group (OREG). The purpose of PSR is to provide healthcare professionals with education on new and emerging best practices related to stroke care. Rounds are hosted by the Regional Stroke Networks on a rotating basis. All events utilize live/interactive videoconferencing.
