The free seminar, Sports Concussions: Facts, Fallacies and New Frontiers, was designed to educate youth and high school team coaches, athletic program administrators, athletic trainers, school nurses and school administrators about concussions in an effort to protect young athletes.
The keynote speaker was international concussion expert Dr. Ruben Echemendia, and many other health care providers presented to the group. Seminar
content included the signs and symptoms of a concussion, current
approaches in evaluating a possible concussion and appropriate management
of a concussion, Missouri’s sports concussion law.
