Medical Provider Track will cover the basic research on the development on new treatments and biomarkers for TBI along with identification, treatment and management of brain injury through new protocols, testing and treatment methods, enabling medical providers to become more proficient and confident in helping their brain injured patients return to their lives. Curriculum will also include information on concussion management in primary care as well as how MRIs can help in mild/moderate TBI, when to call for them and what will they show.
Support Professionals Track will help professionals working with brain injured Alaskans be more effective and confident addressing neurobehavioral symptoms and substance use following brain injury, why and when to have a neuropsychological evaluation, and the impact of nutrition and diet following brain injury. Other courses in this track include the latest research findings and clinical advances in neurophysiology for TBI.
