Results: The mean age of 109 pre-hospital EMS personnel was 32.4±6.6 years old. Most of them were graduates of associate degree in emergency medicine. The mean score of knowledge obtained by the pre-hospital EMS personnel was 16.9±3.5 out of 20, which according to the grading, the knowledge level was estimated to be very good.

No significant relationship was recorded between the mean level of knowledge and field of study.
Conclusion: The findings of the present study showed that the level of knowledge of Ilam pre-hospital EMS personnel in the field of stroke is favorable, however, the knowledge of a very small percentage of them was at a weak or very weak level.
