On December 17th, the athletic training staff; working with team physicians, Dr. Shawn Ferullo and Dr. Arturo Aguilar, were invited to speak on the topic of concussion during a clinical staff continuing education luncheon at MIT Medical.
Athletic trainer, Michelle McLeod, successfully organized and delivered a presentation on the contemporary assessment and management of sport-related concussion. The content of the talk included pathology, signs/symptoms, diagnosis, return to activity guidelines, and the influences of this injury; and its recovery, on the student-athlete engaged in the rigors of MIT academics.The topic stimulated some lively discussion among the attendees and will create new opportunities for collaboration between the athletic training staff and the health care providers at MIT Medical.
