WELCOME Recognizing concussion and providing proper treatment is especially important for school aged kids. Our organizations have joined together in an effort to bring a multidisciplinary approach to addressing these types of injuries and ensure adolescent mTBI equity for school aged children (secondary/college) with a goal of return to learn and activity. Our vision is to provide each professional discipline with an understanding of its shared role in the concussion management care circle and to actively apply concepts learned from the day's event in a case study format. | CME Provided |
