This two-day event brings together regional and interna tional speakers\, highlighting current key developments in acute stroke ca re and the unique challenges and opportunities in resource-limited regions such as the Caribbean.\nIschemic stroke is a severely debilitating condit ion for which acute treatment options have significantly advanced over the past decades. For years now\, intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular t hrombectomy have become standard of care. Treatment is possible up to 24 h ours after the onset of symptoms\, although earlier treatment still leads to better (functional) outcomes.\nWhile these treatments and the necessary diagnostic tools are available in many countries\, access remains limited in many regions\, including most of the Caribbean. Implementing what is n ow considered basic acute stroke care presents significant challenges on t he Caribbean islands\, due to financial\, geographical\, and socioeconomic factors. This necessitates difficult trade-offs in acute stroke care in t he Caribbean region\, with the ultimate goal of providing high-quality\, a ccessible care for everyone.\nThe conference is aimed at both professional s within stroke care in the Caribbean and those in other regions of the wo rld.\nIn the coming months\, we will present the official conference locat ion on Curacao\, the full conference program\, and our complete list of sp eakers. Sign up for the mailing list to receive updates when the official registration page opens.\nMailing list Caribbean Acute Stroke Summit - For mulier invullenThis mailing list will only be used to send sporadic update s regarding the conference\, such as program announcements and the opening of official registration.\nWe look forward to welcoming you to Curacao!\n [toggle open='true' title='April 17\, 2027 - Session 1'] \n\n\n\nFrom - To \nSubject\nType\nSpeaker\n\n\n\n\n8:30 - 9:00\nRegistration Session 1\n \n  \n\n\n9:00 - 9:15\nOpening day 1\nPlenary session\nStef Bakker\n\n\n9:15 - 10:15\nEpidemiology of stroke in the Caribbean\nPlenary session\nIzzy Ge rstenbluth \n\n\n10:15 - 10:30\nCoffee break\n \n \n\n\n10:30 - 11:30\nCur rent state of stroke care: When money isn’t an obstacle\nPlenary session  \nJonathan Coutinho\n\n\n11:30 - 12:00\nChallenges of stroke care in the C aribbean: When money is an obstacle\nPlenary session \nIngemar Merkies\n\n \n12:00 - 13:00\nLunch\n \n \n\n\n\n[/toggle]\n[toggle open='true' title=' April 17\, 2027 - Session 2'] \n\n\n\nFrom - To\nSubject\nType\nSpeaker\n \n\n\n\n12:45 - 13:00\nRegistration Session 2\n \n \n\n\n13:00 - 14:00\nRo le of neurosurgery in stroke in the Caribbean\nPlenary session \nEllianne dos Santos &\; Kennedy Ogenio\n\n\n14:00 - 15:00\nImaging in stroke\nPl enary session \nCarl Puylaert\n\n\n15:00 - 15:15\nClosing plenary part of day 1\nPlenary session  \nStef Bakker\n\n\n15:15 - 15:45\nCoffee break\n  \n \n\n\n15:45 - 18:00\n1.

The program is ai med at clinical educators\, undergraduate students\, residents\, and inter professional team members who contribute to shaping the hospital’s educati onal culture. Grounded in evidence-informed strategies from health profess ions education\, the initiative promotes collaborative\, reflective\, and context-sensitive learning approaches.\nLearning Goals\n\nDevelop a shared understanding of workplace learning as a dynamic\, participatory\, and so cially embedded process\, particularly from the perspective of faculty and clinical supervisors. \nExamine and strengthen supervisory practices by e xploring how guidance\, observation\, and structured reflection can be des igned to maximize learning affordances for trainees. \nCritically reflect on power\, identity\, and hierarchy by engaging mixed groups of faculty\, residents\, and students in dialogue about psychological safety\, inclusio n\, and exclusion in the clinical workplace.\nIdentify and document barrie rs and enablers of psychological safety across different levels of the hos pital community\, creating a collective foundation for institutional impro vement.\nObserve and interpret local workplace learning practices to uncov er hidden challenges and untapped opportunities for interprofessional coll aboration and inclusive education.\nCo-create actionable\, context-sensiti ve strategies through collective synthesis of workshop outputs and observa tion insights\, fostering feasible and sustainable improvements in the hos pital’s learning culture.\n\nStructure\nThe program is structured as a pro gressive and cumulative learning experience across five days. Workshops on Days 1–4 are offered to different audiences to ensure broad participation across the hospital\, while Day 5 integrates all insights through partici pant observation and collaborative action planning.\nSchedule - Week of Wo rkplace Learning Interventions\n[toggle open='true' title='Day 1: Understa nding Workplace Learning - November 30\, 2026'] \n\n\n\nWorkshop: \nDesign ing Effective Learning Spaces (Faculty &\; Clinical Supervisors – Group 1)\n\n\n\n\n \nThis interactive workshop engages faculty and clinical sup ervisors in analyzing mechanisms of participatory learning and identifying learning affordances across roles.
