Abstract

Abstract:

There is a dearth of standardized training in the Middle East and North African region within the field of stroke medicine and neurointerventional surgery.  The Middle East and North Africa Stroke and Interventional Neurotherapies Organization (MENA- SINO). has formally outlined the training requirements and program structure required to train practitioners locally within the region. A more Flexible pathways to accommodate both need and quality assurance were included. Three tracks of Training were outlined; where track 1 was outlined to deliver the requirement for vascular neurology training, track 2 to fulfill the required standards for straining in Stroke neurointervention while track 3 was outlined to cover the standards to create neuroendovascular surgery training program.
