TBI: Advancements in Diagnosis & Treatment
The approach to concussion diagnosis and management has been evolving at an unprecedented rate that demands an update in clinical applications for those healthcare practitioners that attend these patients. Implementation of concussion protocols has been made by a variety of expert committees. These protocols are changing the applications associated with the previous understanding of brain injury and treatment.
The objective of this contemporary updated program is to present the topic of concussion by educational interaction designed to promote the mastery of skills needed to manage concussion in a contemporary fashion.
Advanced Clinical Applications of Eye Movements
This clinical applications module is an advanced clinical experience that expands the clinician’s ability to utilize eye movements to understand, diagnose and treat disorders of the nervous system. This clinical module expands and details information that was learned in the Carrick Institute Clinical Applications of Eye Movements module.
The program includes an in-depth understanding of eye movements and brain control as well as eye movements and brain influences. The clinical scholar will be able to understand, develop and apply treatment stratagems specific for individual areas of the nervous system.
Neurorehabilitation of the Basal Ganglia
This three-day program will teach you advanced diagnostic and therapeutic applications specific to the basal ganglia. This program builds on top of current the current best understanding of the basal nuclei and its integration in your patient’s conditions.
Structural and functional anatomy of all the afferent, efferent, and intra-basal ganglia connections will be discussed. By understanding Basal Ganglia neurophysiology and pathophysiology, learners will enhance their ability to both diagnose and rehabilitate patients with basal ganglia disorders. The role of the basal ganglia on posture, locomotion, movement, and cognition will be reviewed in order to appreciate the wide variety of presentations a clinician may see in patients with basal ganglia lesions.
Functional Neurology Practice
The Carrick Institute’s mission is to serve patients around the world by bringing together premier educational resources to clinicians and scholars. In an effort to support CI scholars, we have brought together a special event to help clinicians navigate the transition from a traditional practice to the modern practice that includes an individualized clinical neuroscience approach.
This 2.5-day executive workshop is a comprehensive overview of the professional functional neurology practice. It covers techniques to attract new patients from personal and professional referrals, learn to create unified & efficient management systems, and acquire the skills you need to succeed in the modern professional practice. This program will allow you to become a sought-after authority for Functional Neurology in your town by the end of the year, create a rock-star team of empowered people, and create a level of excitement in your patients and your programs.
Clinical Neuroscience Board Review
