In addition, the APP provides education to patients and families regarding diagnosis, treatment, and follow‑up, and collaborates with physicians, trainees, nursing, and ancillary staff to support interdisciplinary learning and patient‑centered care while maintaining current knowledge of neurologic disease processes and emerging evidence in stroke and neurology.
