When: Friday, February 6, 2009
Where: The Old Mill Inn and Spa, Toronto, ON
A must-attend event for healthcare practitioners who are impacted by mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI): physicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses, social workers, program service managers, and service providers from rehabilitation, insurance and legal organizations. *
Participate in interactive discussions, workshops, and plenary sessions in this one-day evidence-based forum that will familiarize you with a wide range of controversies and challenges associated with the diagnosis of mild traumatic brain injury, including the neuropsychological and psycho-social implications of MTBI.
Workshops will focus on conditions such as post-traumatic dizziness, post traumatic stress disorder, and the assessment of symptom validity.
An interactive round table will bring the program to a close, in which mild traumatic brain injury will be put on trial. During this mock jury trial, legal counsels take opposing sides on a case developed by clinicians, to reveal the controversies surrounding MTBI in a courtroom setting. In this interactive session – you will be the jury!
This event is an Accredited Group Learning Activity (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification of The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and approved by The Canadian Association of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. The conference is approved for up to 6.25 hours of CME
