AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (1.00 hours), AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ Designated (1.00 hours)

This initiative will focus on the management of intracranial hemorrhages (ICHs) in the emergency room, testing for the presence of anticoagulant therapies, and the inconsistency in reversing direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in emergent situations. These certified events are integrated with our novel outcomes-based MinuteCE™ mobile short-form learning platform, coupled with our closed-loop gamification experience (Quiz Challenge), plus downloadable slides that will deliver pinpoint outcome results. The integrated, closed-loop learning approach is designed for the lifestyle of the learner, on their terms, and has been shown to increase the motivation to learn, improve retention, and boost practice outcomes, which will impact patient care giving. Currently, programs on our platform have a 90% completion rate, which exceeds the industry average, and we have earned the trademark: SIMPLY THE SMARTEST WAY TO LEARN®

1. Recognize and distinguish major from minor bleeding
2. Recognize that any intracranial bleed in the setting of anticoagulation is potentially life-threatening
3. Distinguish which bleeds can be treated locally versus referred to a specialized stroke center
4. Distinguish when and how to use renal function tests versus coagulation tests in determining whether to use a DOAC in emergent situations
5. Review key considerations and recommendations associated with reversal agents for DOACs
6. Employ treatment and management strategies, eventually incorporating new therapies for intracranial bleeds based on an understanding of the mechanism of action, benefits, risks, dosing, monitoring, and management of the agents
