Every minute counts: How simulation-based training is closing the stroke education gap
Every minute a stroke goes unrecognized, a patient loses an average of 2 million neurons. Yet fewer than 30% of acute ischemic stroke patients are treated within the first hour — when treatment is most effective.
The gap isn't always clinical. Often, it's educational.
The American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association, in collaboration with the University of Miami's Gordon Center for Simulation and Innovation in Medical Education and Laerdal Medical, developed the Essential Stroke Life Support® (ESLS®) course to address this directly.
This whitepaper explores the self-paced, mastery-based e-learning program built for front-line providers across hospitals, EMS organizations, post-acute facilities and more.

This whitepaper explores the self-paced, mastery-based e-learning program built for front-line providers across hospitals, EMS organizations, post-acute facilities and more.
Insights include:
- Why early stroke recognition directly reduces disability and death
- How simulation builds mastery, not just passing scores
- How organizations can train large cohorts affordably with bulk licensing
- How one EMS organization completed ESLS training across all 250 of its EMTs and paramedics
