A Multidisciplinary Approach

How does this ECHO work?

Physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language therapists, behavioral health professionals, athletic trainers, primary care clinicians, and healthcare professionals who work in concussion care are all encouraged to join. Participants will join the expert team in case-based learning via videoconferencing. Together, participants will:

  • Identify appropriate multi-disciplinary referrals
  • Increase utilization of appropriate care plans
  • Improve utilization of objective assessments
  • Counsel patients effectively and advocate for collaboration with other professionals

Through a multidisciplinary approach, the Concussion Care ECHO hopes to empower and support healthcare professionals to confidently and effectively apply best practices. This ECHO will offer online collaborative learning sessions every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month from noon to 1:00 p.m.
