Concussion Lawsuits? Student Athletes Unionizing?
Head off Trouble with Sound Safety Measures
The importance of protecting athletes from lasting concussion damage has been underscored by recent litigation and statutes introduced in all 50 states addressing concussions and return to play. But concussion management continues to challenge athletic programs and sports medicine teams regardless of the level of sport, with nearly 4 million concussions reported each year. This course is your comprehensive guide to concussion prevention, assessment, and management, as well as baseline testing and emergency action planning. In addition, the final section covers supervision and administration of athletic training services based on recent best practices.
In this recording, you'll learn how to reduce concussion risk and make return-to-play decisions with clinical certainty — led by collegiate athletic training veteran and NATA Hall of Famer, Rod Walters.
