Concussion Education

Understanding Sport-Related Concussion Teach-Out: Teach-Outs are short learning experiences, each focused on a specific current issue. In this Teach-Out, offered by the University of Michigan, multiple concussion-related questions will be addressed including those related to legislation and policy, the legal issues surrounding concussion, the duties of an athletic trainer related to concussion, and the role of the media in the concussion conversation. The Teach-Out's lead instructors and hosts, Steve Broglio, PhD, Matt Lorincz, MD, PhD, and Carrie Morton, are all affiliated with the Michigan Concussion Center.

Michigan Sport-Related Concussion Training Certification (MOOC): In the Michigan Sport-Related Concussion Training Certification course, you will learn about five key components of sport-related concussions: identify medical emergencies, debrief the Michigan Youth Concussion Legislature, review rest and rehabilitation principles after a concussion occurs, understand the return to learn and return to school progressions, and finally become knowledgeable of the potential long-term consequences of head impact exposure on brain health. This course satisfies the state-mandated requirement for concussion training in the state of Michigan. The three lead instructors for this course, Steve Broglio, PhD, Matt Lorincz, MD, PhD and JT Eckner, MD, are all affiliated with the Michigan Concussion Center.
