IPSO Working Groups
IPSO Working Groups
IPSO will send out periodic emails to IPSO members when volunteers for working groups are needed. Members may also contact IPSO to express interest in joining a working group.
Expression of Interest
Are you interested in joining a working group? If so, please Email Us with the following information:
- Working group(s) you are particularly interested in, in order of preference
- Your nationality and specialty (we are aiming for diverse representation—international and multidisciplinary)
- Are you interested in chairing a working group? Every working group chair automatically becomes a member of the IPSO Steering Committee.
- Anything special about your background or experience that would be relevant to a particular working group?
IPSO Pediatric Stroke Readiness Working Group
Role: Prepare an IPSO position statement on what it means for a center to be “ready” to take care of a child with a stroke, and what we as an organization think should be criteria for a “Pediatric Stroke Center.” The process will include surveys of IPSO members to develop consensus. Will need representatives from multiple disciplines and different nationalities to participate in this controversial issue.
