The great efficiency of interventional stroke treatment has largely broadened the horizon of neurointerventions and hugely increased the need for trained interventionists. While professional organizations provide high quality education in all related fields, the medical industry is making an effort to complement theoretical teaching with practical training.
As part of this effort, Stryker’s SKILL™ Center of excellence network provides individually tailored, unique opportunities to improve practical skills by learning from experts, observing cases, sharing clinical experience in discussion groups and by practicing elements of interventional techniques using flow or animal models, as well as simulators.
