Neurologic emergencies don’t wait for the hospital—and neither should neurology education. This episode breaks down a longitudinal EMS curriculum using cases, simulation, and gamification to improve prehospital neurologic assessment. We’ll discuss feasibility, knowledge outcomes, and system-level metrics like door-to-needle time and thrombectomy transfers. Does active learning and simulation meaningfully change prehospital neurologic care—or just test scores? And what does “success” really look like for EMS education?
