Description

This 15-hour, hands-on workshop delivers an accelerated and practical approach to understanding, diagnosing, and rehabilitating concussion. With no universally accepted definition or standard of care for concussion, this bootcamp equips clinicians with the knowledge and tools to cut through confusion and address the 7 major concussion phenotypes. Through lecture and applied learning, participants will master the neurophysiology of mTBI, conduct advanced assessments across vestibular, visual, cognitive, and autonomic systems, and implement personalized training programs for patients ranging from pediatric to professional athletes.
