Course Description
Concussion Management in Adolescents and Adults: Evidence-Based Update provides healthcare professionals with a comprehensive, up-to-date synthesis of the latest research and international consensus guidelines shaping modern concussion care. Grounded in evidence published between 2022 and 2025, this course moves beyond outdated “cocooning” models and equips clinicians with practical strategies for early active rehabilitation, targeted management of persistent symptoms, and safe return-to-sport, school, and work decision-making.
Through in-depth exploration of the SCAT6 and SCOAT6, cervicovestibular and oculomotor rehabilitation, pharmacological considerations, and interdisciplinary care models, participants gain actionable tools they can implement immediately in clinical practice. Special emphasis is placed on adolescent recovery patterns, sex-specific differences, and risk factors for prolonged symptoms; critical knowledge for optimizing outcomes. This course is ideal for rehabilitation and nursing professionals seeking to elevate their concussion management skills with clinically relevant, evidence-based guidance that reflects current best practice standards.
