[Psychmasters] GSPO Guest Speaker this Friday at 12:00pm on Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

[Anastasi, Jeffery]

Hello,
This is a reminder about our guest speaker coming at the end of the week. This Friday, October 19th at 12:00pm at the Psychological Service Center, GSPO will welcome our guest speaker, Dr. Zgaljardi. Dr. Zgaljardic will be presenting on Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: The Silent Epidemic. Please joins us to welcome Dr. Zgalijardic to our program and learn about mild traumatic brain injury.

Purpose Statement:The following presentation will discuss the physical, cognitive, and behavioral sequelae of mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) and its impact on diagnosis, assessment and treatment. The presentation will focus on empirically-validated research performed in this area. In addition, information will be provided to assist in the planning for potential long-term concerns and outcomes upon community re-entry for patients with post-concussive syndrome secondary to MTBI.

Presentation Objectives:
1. To provide an understanding of the physical and behavioral needs of a patient following MTBI, as well as differentiate the presentation and course of MTBI from moderate to severe brain injury.
2. To provide an understanding of the physical, cognitive, and psychological symptom recovery following onset of post concussive symptoms.
3. To provide an understanding the short-and long-term treatment course for those individuals presenting with persistent post-concussive syndrome.

Sincerely,
GSPO Officers
