This roundtable discussion will convene diverse local and national stakeholders from the athletic and research communities to share expertise and facilitate dialogue with healthcare & athletic professionals on the variables that impact concussion identification and management in athletes. This will include social/cultural factors that may provide additional context and should be considered as influencers to athlete self-reporting, treatment, and/or care. Identifying disparities will serve to set research priorities that address gaps in clinical care. Panelists include:
-
James Alexander, Executive Director of Athletics Detroit Public Community Schools
-
Tracey Covassin, Professor, Department of Kinesiology, Director, Athletic Training Education Program, Director, Sport Concussion Research Laboratory, Michigan State University
-
Mike Uihlein, Assistant Professor, Department of Emergency Medicine, Medical College of Wisconsin; Team Physician, U.S. National Sled Hockey Team; National Medical Team Member, National Veterans Wheelchair Games and National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic
-
Jessica Wallace, Assistant Professor, Department of Health Science, Athletic Training Program, University of Alabama
