Improvement of Confidence and Knowledge Retention for Stroke Management Among Internal Medicine Trainees During an Institution-Specific, Protocol-Oriented Lecture Based Intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute stroke management is an essential component of neurology residency education. Internal medicine trainees are less likely to receive dedicated training in acute stroke care despite having to care for hospitalized patients with a stroke diagnosis.

Objective

The objectives of this survey-based quality improvement study were to: 1) assess pre-existing confidence and knowledge about acute stroke care among internal medicine trainees and 2) measure change after an institution-specific, protocol-oriented "value added lecture" (intervention).

Methods

Pre-intervention survey and knowledge assessment was given to internal medicine physicians, residents, and students, followed by the intervention on acute stroke management, during academic year 2019-2020. Post-i
