Abstract
Numerous barriers hinder the effective delivery of neurologic care as well as the education of health care professionals in the low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study assessed the knowledge of the participants after Comprehensive Neurocritical Care Course (CN3C) in the LMICs. Data from 177 participants were collected and analyzed. The pre- and postcourse test scores of the participants were compared. There was improvement in their posttest scores (pretest score: 16.45 ± 5.35 vs posttest score: 24.96 ± 6.74; P < .01). The CN3C course improves the overall knowledge of neurocritical care in the participants, as evident by the posttest scores.
