Mayo Clinic Symposium on Concussion in Sport

Concussion has become a major public health priority that transcends age, gender, and sport. The under-reporting and recognition of concussion, and the potential for short-term catastrophic consequences and disabling long-term neurological impairment from repeated concussions has prompted the passage of legislation in many states which require the immediate removal from play of an athlete suspected of having a concussion, mandatory concussion education of all those who intersect with an athlete, and return-to-play clearance by a qualified health care provider. This state-of-the-art symposium will highlight the epidemiology of concussion in sport and military combat, the pathophysiology of concussion, sideline and outpatient clinical evaluation, standard and novel diagnostic strategies, and implementation of return-to-activity guidelines. The format will include platform lectures, small group workshops, panel discussions, and live two-way remote audio/video concussion evaluations using robotic teleconcussion technology. The faculty will be comprised of renowned scientific and clinical experts in the field of concussion from Mayo Clinic and leading US academic medical centers. The intended audience will include athletic trainers, athletic directors, allied health and physicians involved or with an interest in the evaluation and management of individuals with concussion.
