What are the qualification requirements of the Stroke Medical Director?
The Stroke Medical Director has to meet two of the following four criteria: • Participation in at least two regional, national or international stroke conferences yearly; • Complete a Stroke fellowship (a fellowship in Epilepsy will not suffice); • Eight or more CMEs ( While the education requirement for physicians other than the Stroke Director may be met with Board Certification in Neurology/Neurosurgery, Emergency Medicine or Internal Medicine, board certification is not a substitute for this requirement for the Stroke Director.) • Five or more peer review publications relating to stroke. This is the requirement in the first year. In subsequent years the Stroke Director need only complete one of the requirements. It should be noted that the Stroke Director need not be a neurologist. An Emergency Medicine physician may be the Stroke Director if the above requirements are met.
