New Online Course Format for 2020! 

The Sport-Related Concussion Conference at Boston Children’s Hospital will return for its 17th consecutive year on October 15-16, 2020 as an interactive, online course. 

The conference focuses on the basic science and clinical management of sport-related concussion (SRC) and spine injuries with a particular emphasis on returning children to school and the activities they participated in prior to their injuries. 

Topics for 2020 include initial clinical evaluation, bio mechanics of injury, acute and chronic treatment, how to guide patients back to school and sports, relevant research regarding evaluation and treatment, as well as challenges surrounding outpatient care during a pandemic.  

The course will include didactic lectures, panel discussions, and Q&A. The interactive format of this course will engage the learners and help to increase knowledge and skills needed to diagnose, treat, and manage the full spectrum of sport-related concussion and spine injury.

1. Assess the problems of sports-related concussion and spine injuries and develop strategies to evaluate and treat them effectively.
2. Determine when patients are safe to return to play and the best practice for returning to both academics and athletics.
3. Evaluate current practices related to concussion and determine new strategies, and when to refer your patients to an expert for a higher level of care.
