Course Overview

Concussions continue to be a serious epidemic in youth and competitive sports. With approximately 1.6 million to 3.8 million sports-related concussions occurring every year, these injuries are considered among the most complex injuries in sports medicine to diagnosis, assess, and manage. The instructor will provide an overarching review of the recent literature, including the 6th International Conference on Concussion in Sport, as it pertains to concussion management from prevention techniques to reducing the risk of injury to returning to play after a concussive episode. The modules within this course include an introduction to concussions, recognition and sideline evaluation, clinical evaluation, neuropsychological testing, rehabilitation techniques, and academic modifications. As the literature and practice guidelines/recommendations are reviewed, participants will be able to assess their current practice to make appropriate modifications to their own concussion management plan. The mission of this course is to provide a concise resource on how to properly manage concussions from risk reduction techniques, acute injuries, and return to play by implementing a multimodal process and enhancing multidisciplinary communication to keep the athlete at the forefront of care.
