Bundle 11 includes the Concussion Sessions + Initiating and Progressing Multi-Therapy Approaches in Concussion Management Course + the CCCM Course!
The Concussion Sessions:
Concussion care is rapidly evolving with newer research highlighting that up to 43% of individuals may have symptoms persist for months after the initial injury. Concussion is not an injury that only affects one part of our brain and thus, to be most effective, our treatments can not be silo'd in their approach.
In the Concussion Sessions, Dr. John Leddy presents on, Why Assessing the Neck in Concussion Patients is Critical. Dr. Leddy discusses how common neck injuries accompany concussion, how they have similar symptoms, how they raise risk of delayed recovery, and how early identification and treatment prevent prolonged symptoms for these patients. Natasha Wilch, PT highlights how understanding the interplay and integrative nature of your physiology & neurology can enhance outcomes sooner for your concussion clients.
Each session includes: a 45 minute presentation followed by Q&A session. Continuing education credits for each session are available for physical therapists, occupational therapists, and athletic trainers. Once you register, you'll get access to the on-demand webinars and presentation materials.
Initiating and Progressing Multi-Therapy Approaches in Concussion Management Course:
While there may not be a clear-cut protocol in concussion management, it is widely agreed that it requires a comprehensive rehab approach for those with persisting symptoms post-concussion. Join us as we discuss how to initiate and progress a variety of rehab strategies: manual, visual, vestibular, balance, auditory, cognitive, and even psychological. You will learn about available technologies for assessment and monitoring progress as well as what you can do if you don’t have access to technology or specialty providers.
The focus includes how to transfer findings from concussion-related assessments into treatment progressions based on novel and comprehensive training activities through a case-study approach.
You will be exposed to a variety of case studies across the lifespan (adolescent to geriatric) with persisting symptoms post-concussion. You will learn clinical pearls in both current and future trends in concussion management, including the use of targeted questionnaires to identify trajectories, perceived limitations, and/or psychological stressors that can affect outcomes. We'll also emphasize how to develop targeted interventions from the evaluation, how to identify when a further referral is needed, and the importance of an interdisciplinary approach.

DESCRIPTION:
The CCCM Course provides you a convenient and flexible path to advanced training in concussion management through online coursework and a final examination.
This 6-week evidence-based concussion management competency course, created by healthcare professionals, acknowledges the value of your time and is designed to allow you to participate whenever it suits (or fits into) your schedule.
To earn your Certificate of Competency in Concussion Management, you must complete the assigned coursework and weekly assignments, and pass the final examination. You can retake the exam up to three times to achieve the minimum required score of 80 or higher.
With this training, you'll deep dive into a comprehensive intake and review of past medical history from the patient and/or caregiver, including identification of yellow flags to identify psychological stressors and risk factors that may affect their outcomes. We'll identify the most appropriate assessments based on current trends and research in concussion management as well as integrate targeted interventions based on impairments identified through reliable tests and measures and specific concussion trajectories.
We'll discuss the sequencing and progression of a variety of treatment strategies that are specific to the patient and the cause of concussion. Our content focuses on the continuum of care for a comprehensive concussion program from baseline to time of injury to post-injury and throughout the recovery process. Our content goes beyond vestibular by addressing evaluation and treatment approaches for cognition, vision, the neck, and exertion. We also discuss the impact on recovery with nutrition, poor sleep patterns, and anxiety. You'll learn about technologies and clinical assessment tools as well as how to incorporate findings into a rehabilitation program.
The CCCM content is hosted in our online learning platform, 360NeuroGO, to help you succeed through interactive modules, quiz and exam question banks, discussion boards, live chats, and so much more!

At the beginning of each week, faculty will pose questions relevant to that week's unit. There are a total of 6 lesson units. These questions will be based on a brief case study. You are responsible for TWO posts each week:
Post 1: Respond to a minimum of 2 questions posted by faculty with 1 reference for each. References can be from an article or a lecture. Faculty responses are due by midnight (CST) on Sundays.
Post 2: Post a question or share a clinical experience in What's on your mind? (in the Member Hub). No reference is needed. This post does not have to be specific to the lesson content but a relevant concussion-related topic of discussion. Faculty can assist in this assignment.
Posts are due by midnight (CST) on Sundays. Responses for both posts can be brief -- a minimum of 3 sentences.
Since this is a guided course, staying current with each week's post is recommended. But we allow for flexibility. The requirement is that all assignments (2 posts for each unit) are completed before you can complete the CCCM final examination. Suppose you fall behind, just direct message us. This is a guided course, but we allow for flexibility when needed.
