Description
Emergency room visits for sports-related concussions have
increased 60 percent over the last ten years, and 40 percent of sports-related
concussions involve children between the ages of 8 and 13 years. Additionally,
high-profile litigation against the National Football League and other sports
organizations, along with
The Concussion
movie, has generated an abundance of concern about the long-term sequelae of
sports concussions.
The Cooperative of American Physicians, Inc. (CAP) invites
you to join us for our next complimentary webinar, presented by renowned
concussion expert Christopher Giza, MD and CAP senior risk management and
patient safety specialist, Catherine Miller. This webinar will offer the
practitioner practical guidance for evaluating young athletes and managing
