ForwardBrain Injury Symposium, 24th Annual
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke are public health problems of major proportions. Each year, more than 230,000 people in the United States sustain a TBI, resulting in hospitalization and potential life-long disability due to a complex variety of cognitive, physical and emotional sequelae. There have been many advances in the practice of rehabilitation medicine, psychology, neurology and other clinical specialties that identify and treat patients with brain injury. This symposium will provide practical, evidence-based strategies to accurately diagnose, treat and rehabilitate brain injury survivors.
Target Audience
Neurologists, Neurosurgeons, Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Neuropsychologists, Physiatrists, General Internists, Family Practice Physicians, Pediatricians, Physical Therapists and Assistants, Occupational Therapists and Assistants, Speech-Language Pathologists, Nurses, Social Workers, Pharmacists and Athletic Trainers
