Traumatic brain injury is being called the signature injury of the Iraq/Afghanistan conflict. Some estimates give the incidence as high as 18% in those suffering injury. The goal of this course is to give a foundation for better understanding the disability flowing from TBI to enable better treatment decisions and proper referrals when appropriate. |
