Course Description: The prevalence of brain injuries and strokes continue to increase each year. There often are long lasting sequelae from these injuries including physical, cognitive, language, and behavioral deficits. The growth and development of clinical treatment programs will depend on enhancing the skills of clinical staff for the next generation of expert clinicians. The focus of this conference is to provide clinicians with an advanced overview of special topics, skills, and strategies for treatment teams working with those who have a brain injury or stroke. This course will facilitate the growth of clinical programs of a comprehensive treatment team, through the advancement of best practice in brain injury rehabilitation. Clinicians will be more effective and efficient practitioners and by integrating, and promoting behaviors that are congruent with those explored in the course.
Learning Objectives: Upon completion, participants will be able to:
- Participants will be able to recognize the neuroanatomy factors that influence treatment, prognosis, and medical complications after brain injury and stroke.
- Participants will distinguish special clinical presentations after brain injury and/or stroke and construct treatment plans to facilitate recovery.
- Participants will be able to implement team goals to facilitate successful patient gains in the post-acute treatment setting.
- Participants will be able to relate ambiguous loss to various patient and family encounters.
Assessment of Learning Objectives: Question and answer, course feedback form.
