Description of CME Course
Much of what was thought about the diagnosis and management of concussion and head injury has changed in recent years. Concussion has increasingly been in the public eye due to the professional football players’ claim against the NFL and soldiers’ brain injuries from explosives. In 2013, the Institute of Medicine’s expert panel reported that “little is known about how to prevent, diagnose, or manage concussive head injury” and yet, every day physicians are charged with doing so. This video presentation follows the diagnostic journey of one family and their head-injured son. It aims to identify what physicians of all specialties can do to improve recognition of concussive injury, prevent further harm and promote maximum recovery.
