ADVANCED NEUROVASCULAR PRACTITIONER (ANVP)

The ANVP review course is an advanced level course geared toward Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) working in the acute neurovascular setting. The review course focuses on expertise in assessment, medical diagnosis by localization and neuroimaging interpretation, and hyperacute treatment decision-making. The ANVP's incorporation of key pathophysiologic concepts and evolving research findings also ensures expertise in methods for establishment of stroke pathogenic mechanism with related secondary prevention knowledge and competencies. The ANVP supports APPs at numerous acute care practice sites that aim to use APPs in expanded roles supporting telemedicine, mobile stroke units, and stroke emergency response.

Additional Information:

• The Rapid Review course is NOT a course designed to teach NEW content; it is a course designed to review key points in an extremely rapid format.
   
• Neuroimaging interpretation (multi-modal CT, MRI, catheter angiography, and duplex and TCD) and clinical localization skills are not covered on the ANVP Rapid Review as these are fundamental knowledge and skills that are expectations to sit the exam.
