Rostami’s extensive research profile encompasses many aspects of TBI, from biomarkers, physiology, pharmacology, treatment, and imaging amongst many others. She authored and co-authored over 60 peer-reviewed publications, and contributed to myriad book chapters. She is a recognised authority on CBF, and has been an invited speakers to several major conferences to speak on the matter, including the EANS and Euroanaesthesia. In addition to her busy clinical duties, she is active in mentoring research theses for PhD students both as a main and as a co-supervisor. She has attracted over 13 million Swedish Krona (EUR ~1.3 million) in research funding. Furthermore, Rostami serves as the Vice Chair of the Neurotrauma Section of the EANS, is a member of the Swedish Ethical Review Authority, and is a commissioner in the assessment group of the Faculty of Medicine's Foundation for Psychiatric and Neurological Research.

This Global Neuro Comprehensive Online Diploma in Neurotrauma Care has been developed for neurosurgeons and other health care providers, including residents, dedicated to the integral management of Neurotrauma, as well as complex and interdisciplinary patient care.
The diploma program is a combination of lectures, tutorials and case studies, to increase participants' basic understanding of evidence-based practice in neurotrauma. The video lectures will be delivered weekly and will be available in a repository for remote access during the 21 weeks duration of the program.
The program is organized in 10 modules (typically each one with 6 lectures, totaling 61 lectures). These will be evaluated with a multiple-choice test with a minimum required score of 70%. At the end of the 10 modules a final exam evaluating the content of the whole program will be performed online.
The final grade will be a sum of the module’s exams (50%) and the final exam (50%). The minimum required score to obtain the certification will be 7.0 / 10 (70%)

Accreditation
In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by CME Outfitters, LLC and the Global Neuro Foundation. CME Outfitters, LLC is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
CME Outfitters, LLC designates this enduring activity for a maximum of 43.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
By completing this course, participants will be better able to:
- Demonstrate the magnitude of the spectrum of neurotrauma epidemiology worldwide and how different types of injuries can affect patients in different age groups.
- Develop the ability to read and understand published research related to cranial and spinal neurotrauma, integrated management and outcomes.
- Analyze the differences of initial assessment and management of neurotrauma patients in different level of resource availability, interacting with protocols, guidelines, consensus and evidence-based interventions in a wider frame of patient safety first.
- Develop the appropriate decision-making skills to apply a multi-disciplinary and cross-specialty approach to the prehospital, emergency care, surgical and critical care management of neurotrauma patients.
- Generate the essential knowledge and critical analysis to define futility of care in complex cases and in neurotrauma care related complications.
