CDC Announces Updated Information to help Physicians Recognize and Manage Concussions Early
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on June 7th said it will revise educational materials for physicians treating concussions, based in part on advice from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “Heads Up: Brain Injury in Your Practice” is a multimedia toolkit the CDC gives physicians to help provide earlier diagnosis, management and appropriate referral for patients with concussions. Doctors at the UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Program, as well as experts from other organizations, contributed to the project.
