Integrated Multimodality Simulation Curriculum： International Immediate Stroke Life Support

抄録

The Immediate Stroke Life Support (ISLS) curriculum teaches the evaluation and management of acute stroke syndromes. The ISLS was developed by the Japan ISLS task force, which was composed of representatives of the Japanese Association of Acute Medicine (JAAM) and Japanese Congress on Neurological Emergencies (JCNE) . The course incorporates role-play, mannequin simulation modalities, and clinical maps. ISLS complements the neurological skills and knowledge that are essential to cerebral resuscitation. An international version of the ISLS (ISLS-IN) has been developed through an intense collaborative process, which translated and adapted the Japanese model to English to accommodate North American students. The ISLS-IN introduces teachers to the techniques used in this course, through sequential train-the-trainer exercises in each of the integrated simulation techniques.
