The American Stroke Association and World Stroke Organization have jointly developed a Jeopardy!-style challenge to test your knowledge of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis (CVT). If you get excited when health care topics pop up in a game show, get ready to polish your stroke expertise in an engaging way.
On July 29, the American Heart Association’s Professional Education Hub launched "Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: Take the Challenge," a complimentary online quiz to educate physicians, nurses, stroke coordinators, and allied health professionals on CVT ‒ which accounts for up to three percent of all strokes. To complete the challenge, you’ll answer CVT-related questions across six categories and track your progress with points. If you score at least 80 percent of the questions correctly, you’ll be awarded with a certificate of completion for the challenge. You can repeat the questions as many times as you’d like, but completing this online challenge does not count towards continuing education.
Just 30 minutes of your time can refine your knowledge of CVT and improve patient care and outcomes – and that’s not something you want to wager on outside of any game shows.
