OLD CONTENT Carrick Institute is proud to bring you its most advanced specialty program in the field of concussion and mTBI – Functional Neurology Management of Concussion presented by Dr. Matthew Antonucci.
With the leadership of Prof. Frederick R. Carrick, the Carrick Institute pioneered the concept of an individualized clinical neuroscience approach in healthcare known as the paradigm of functional neurology. For over 40 years the concepts of Functional Neurology taught in our curriculums have served patients at the highest levels. Carrick Institute’s mission remains the same. It strives to offer the highest quality training in an effort to help produce the world’s best clinicians.
This two-level program serves as the pinnacle of our educational offerings. We are ready. Are YOU ready to take your career to the next level?
A Two-Level Approach to Concussion Management Education
The Functional Neurology Management of Concussion (FN-MOC) has been meticulously crafted for all healthcare providers with a passion for helping patients with concussions, regardless of their educational background.
Level 1 is 70 hours of education focused specifically on critically evaluating consensus statements and current publications, to guide in the development of a contemporary, comprehensive approach to concussion/mTBI. We discuss risk factors that may predict concussion. We examine factors that make individuals more vulnerable to sustaining a concussion. The pathophysiological story of an mTBI is reviewed, from the mitochondria through the abstract concept of neural networks and graph theory. We discuss the time of impact management, and urgent care, including hospital protocols, imaging algorithms, and acute care. Utilizing the decades of research that exists on concussion symptoms and clinically-evaluated dysfunction, we lay the pedagogical foundation of this course on the 7 concussion phenotypes. Special attention is given to ensure the development of competency in the entrusbable professional activities of assessing each phenotype empirically, with minimal technology, and unprecedented confidence.
Level 2 is for the dedicated practitioner that wants to be the go-to concussion solution provider in their area. It is a 280-hour mastery program designed by Dr. Antonucci in collaboration with our robust medical advisory board, to cultivate expertise in concussion and mTBI rehabilitation on the foundational concepts taught in Level 1, with a depth of information that can not be found anywhere in post-graduate education. Level 2 Scholars will learn the essential and nuanced details about human sensory processing and motor control systems that are disrupted by concussion and mTBI, and the therapeutic modalities designed to restore their integrity.
* Please note that one must attend and complete Level 1 before attending Level 2, as Level 2 will assume proficiency in Level 1 theory, assessment, and EPAs.
Program Structure
This 2-level program utilizes a specific pedagogy to ensure the best learning experience for attending clinicians, while also making it available to clinicians worldwide.
Flipped Classroom – A flipped classroom is a style of blended learning that introduces crucial foundational concepts before the main lectures and applications are taught. This allows all scholars to enter the main program on the same level and encourages deeper learning on more advanced topics during the main lectures.
Interactive Asynchronous Learning – Interactive asynchronous learning allows you to learn on your own schedule. The main lectures are pre-recorded and will be available 24/7 on your online learning portal. Our online learning features interaction through knowledge-check questions embedded throughout the lectures, quizzing, and submission of open-ended written competency evaluations. The material will remain on your learning portal as long as one maintains an active Carrick Institute account. We encourage scholars to review the material several times for the best learning experience.
Onsite-Learning – To achieve certification status, one must attend the onsite portion for each level. The onsite learning will carefully instruct clinicians on the hands-on skills they need to know for proficiency in the management and rehabilitation of concussions.
Level 1 & Level 2 both have an onsite module that is required to attend to receive certification status.
- Level 1 – Chapter 4 (Creating and Performing a Baseline Assessment): 3 days onsite (25 neurology hours)
- Level 2 – Chapter 8 (Therapeutic Procedures Workshop): 3 days onsite (25 neurology hours)
Those who complete Level 1 & Level 2 of Functional Neurology Management of Concussion will be eligible to sit for the FABBIR board examination from the ACFN.

Level 2 Objectives
Each chapter of Level 2 will dive into the deepest depths of its content, with a consistent theme of “assess to treat”. In Level 2 we are not concerned with a diagnosis. Every assessment that is performed should provide meaningful therapeutic implications for solving the complex puzzle of protracted and persisting symptoms.
Chapter 1: Understanding Persisting Concussion Symptoms (“Post-Concussion Syndrome”) (via online self-paced learning)
- To solve persisting concussion symptoms, scholars must understand why they are persisting, to begin with. The mechanisms of PCS are related-to but are different than the mechanisms of acute concussion. Therefore, they need to be managed differently. Scholars will find these answers and more in this carefully curated flipped classroom assignment.
Chapter 2: Concussion-Related Metabolic, Autonomic, and Sleep Pathophysiology (via online self-paced learning)
- After weeks, months, and sometimes years of neuroplastic remodeling, the brain and its environment is often in a downward spiral. Chronic inflammation, hormonal disruption, autonomic dysfunction, insomnia, and other challenges perpetuate pain, suffering, injury, and poor quality of life. In this chapter, we will discuss common metabolic, autonomic and sleep disturbances caused by hypothalamic and pituitary dysfunction, as well as remodeled central autonomic networks.
Chapter 3: Vestibular Dysfunction and Central Syndromes (via online self-paced learning)
- In Level 1, we learned that vestibular processing is the most precocious sensory modality, upon which all other senses are tangentially built. In this chapter, we discuss the advanced vestibular testing, interpretation, and multi-sensory training that can augment central and peripheral vestibular processing.

What Sets Functional Neurology Essentials Apart from Other Programs?
Optimizing one's nervous system creates an environment for maximum healing while simultaneously maximizing the human potential.
One of the main elements that sets Functional Neurology Essentials apart from any other programs is the methodology used in its creation. While many programs are created using information solely from textbooks, we started developing Functional Neurology Essentials by doing a job analysis on some of the most successful Functional Neurology practitioners in the world.
The results allowed us to identify three critical criteria used in the writing of the program:
Type of patients Functional Neurology practitioners commonly treat.
The most common practical clinical assessments and applications utilized by these practitioners.
The academic concepts that these doctors felt contributed most to their learning of the material.
This knowledge enabled us to establish the most fundamentally effective examination procedures to help anatomically localize the area of CNS dysfunction and identify the most effective receptor-based therapy to treat it.
We then performed a literature search to construct an extensive library of evidence supporting nearly every concept and procedure taught in this program.
