Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. With two kids who play competitive sports, the topic of concussion is both personally and professionally relevant for me. My guest today, Dr. Josefine Combs, is here to talk through the ins and outs of concussion. We primarily approach concussion through the lens of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s “profile” model of concussion symptoms and trajectory of recovery. These are just a few topics that we cover: * Basics and definitions: concussion, TBI, brain injury, severity, and so forth * The profile model of concussion conceptualization from UPMC * What “recovery” from mild TBI should look like * Treatment approaches for each of the concussion symptom profiles * Whether kids should play tackle football Cool Things Mentioned * The Testing Psychologist mastermind groups and business consulting * Concussion Materials * SANFORD CONCUSSION PLAYBOOK Featured Resource I am honored to partner with two AMAZING companies to help improve your testing practice!
