Objectives: To design and implement an online stroke training program for health care professionals working in the public healthcare system and for Ñandu Project (Stroke Surveillance Project for the Ñuble province in Southern Chile) participants.The program aims to facilitate organizational improvements through modular, peer-reviewed, evidence-based training in the acute care of stroke patients in Chile. Methods: The program includes the following stroke modules: urgent care, evidence-based acute care, and long-term care and rehabilitation of patients. Contents include national and international clinical practice guidelines recommendations. Each module contains interactive teaching material, academic forums with expert instructors (neurologists, nurses, epidemiologists), training evaluations, and access to complementary material. Results: We designed and implemented the urgent care module, which included stroke symptoms identification, stroke code activation, and urgent care. Participants were physicians (43%), nurses (44%), and other health professionals (13%) from 12 regions of Chile. A total of 1,115 health professionals are registered in future courses. The retention rate was 93% and 74% passed the course. In all, 88% reported that the course helped them update their stroke care knowledge and skills, while 92% believed it would be useful in their clinical practice. Conclusions: The preliminary results of this specifically-designed training program have been positive in terms of updating knowledge and modifying clinical practice.
