New Directions for Concussion Care: Early, Often and Active

This symposium will facilitate interdisciplinary discussion among concussion care providers. We will examine the constantly changing field of clinical concussion research and discuss how to apply new research to clinical practice. We will delve into evidence-based concussion care, case studies, and other practical applications to assist providers in integrating the latest guidelines into their practice.
