Wednesday, March 15, 2023, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, HUB, Philadelphia, PA


This one-day conference is intended for clinicians, school or athletic personnel, and anyone who may be involved in the management of patients with concussion.

Models for managing student athletes in the academic setting across the age span will be presented. Therapeutic approaches to concussions with persistent symptoms will be reviewed in depth, targeting the visual, vestibular, and aerobic systems. Management of issues relating to the intersection of concussion with chronic headache, cognitive function, and behavioral health will also be presented.

1. Identify how a targeted concussion history and visio-vestibular examination is used to diagnose concussions
2. Describe how an active management plan for acute concussions can account for return to learning and activities
