Sports Concussion, Traumatic Brain And Spine Injury Conference
The 13th Annual Sports Concussion, Traumatic Brain And Spine Injury Conference
This recently expanded course will focus on the basic science and clinical management of traumatic brain injury (TBI), sport-related concussion and spinal cord injury. Day one is focused on TBI, while day two emphasizes sports-related concussion. You can choose to attend either or both days.
Through lectures, panel presentations, small group discussions, Q&A and case reviews, you will gain the practical knowledge and skills needed to diagnose, treat and manage the full spectrum of TBI, sports-related concussion and spine injury during both the acute and chronic phases of recovery.
Afternoon workshops will address practical concerns for clinicians, athletic trainers, coaches and school personnel.
Target audienceThis course is for anyone involved in assessing and managing patients with head or spinal injuries — including neurologists, neurosurgeons,
nurses, pediatricians, emergency and trauma physicians, emergency medical technicians, physical therapists, physician assistants, primary care physicians, psychologists, athletic trainers and coaches.
Course objectives Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
› assess the problems of sports-related concussion and spine injuries and develop strategies to diagnose and treat them effectively
› determine when to safely return an athlete to play in accordance with best practice
› evaluate athletic injuries and determine when to refer your patients to an expert for a higher level of care
› evaluate assessment tools and treatment options for patients presenting with traumatic brain injuries
› work in a multidisciplinary team to provide optimal care for your athletic patients
