This evidence-based course introduces clinicians to the fundamental principles of concussion and screening. Participants will review the basic anatomy and physiology of the brain, develop a clear understanding of what constitutes a concussion, and learn how a concussion affects neurological function.

The course provides practical guidance on identifying the common signs and symptoms of concussion and performing appropriate screening assessments. Clinicians will learn how to recognize potential red flags, determine when further evaluation is needed, and understand how to safely guide patients toward appropriate medical care.

In addition, participants will develop the skills needed to initiate the early stages of concussion management. The course outlines when to refer patients for further medical evaluation, when additional testing may be indicated, and how clinicians can begin supporting patients during the early phases of recovery.

By the end of the course, clinicians will have a strong foundational understanding of concussion and the practical screening tools necessary to improve early identification, promote patient safety, and facilitate timely referral and treatment.
