About the course

VAST Seminars and Workshops are designed to compliment the topics and training you receive in each of your programs. Past sessions have been organized into different courses based on shared themes. In this course you will find recordings of sessions related to VCI and neurobiology. VAST network members are invited to revisit and rewatch recordings form past sessions. Some sessions have additional resources, or quizzes that you can complete to test your knowledge.
