Concussion & Traumatic Brain Injury

Master Advanced Diagnosis, Imaging, EEG Interpretation & Triage

10 Credit Hours | Live / On-Demand

When a Head Injury Is “Missed,” the Consequences Can Be Permanent—or Fatal

Every traumatic brain injury is traumatic.
There is no such thing as a “mild” brain injury when cognitive sequela, permanent disability, or death are possible outcomes.

As a primary spine care provider, you are often the first clinician to evaluate these patients. Your ability to recognize subtle signs, interpret advanced diagnostics, and triage appropriately can change—and save—lives.

This 10-hour, evidence-based program gives you the clinical clarity, diagnostic confidence, and defensible protocols required to manage concussion and traumatic brain injury at the highest level.

Course Overview (10 Credit Hours)

This comprehensive program delivers a step-by-step clinical framework for understanding, diagnosing, and triaging:

• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

• Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI)

• Concussion

• Coup–contrecoup injuries

• Cognitive and neurological sequela

You will learn how to integrate:

• Clinical examination

• Advanced imaging

• Electroencephalogram (EEG) testing

• Event-Related Potentials (ERP)
  into a clear differential diagnosis and triage strategy.

What You’ll Learn — Module by Module

Part 1: Traumatic Brain Injury & Concussion – The Truth

• Why all brain injuries are traumatic

• Debunking the myth of “mild” traumatic brain injury

• Early detection protocols

• Short- and long-term pathological sequela

• Critical triage decision-making

Part 2: Head Trauma & Traumatic Brain Injury – Part I

• Gross traumatic brain injuries

• Epidural vs. subdural hematomas

• Advanced imaging interpretation

• Neurosurgical case studies

• Surgical intervention and outcomes

Part 3: Head Trauma & Traumatic Brain Injury – Part II

• Continued in-depth case studies

• Recovery expectations based on injury severity

• Post-surgical sequela and prognosis

• Concussion protocols when no bleeding is visible on imaging

Part 4: Concussion & EEG Testing

• Concussion etiology without demonstrable bleeding

• Cognitive and neurological sequela

• EEG fundamentals for the clinician

• Understanding normal vs. abnormal brain waveforms

• Clinical relevance of EEG findings

Part 5: Pathological EEG Findings & Advanced Neurodiagnostics

• Amplitude abnormalities

• Conduction deficits and delays

• EEG and Event-Related Potentials (ERP)

• Objective brain function assessment

• Non-invasive neurological evaluation

• Case-based triage decision-making based on results

Why This Course Matters

✔ Protects patients through earlier, more accurate diagnosis
✔ Reduces risk of missed brain injury
✔ Strengthens clinical documentation and defensibility
✔ Enhances inter-professional communication with neurology and neurosurgery
✔ Elevates your role as a primary spine care authority

Learning Objective

By the end of this course, doctors will be able to:

• Understand traumatic brain injury at a clinical, diagnostic, and neurological level

• Confidently utilize advanced imaging and EEG testing

• Create a defensible differential diagnosis

• Make informed triage and referral decisions when patient safety is at risk
