In this episode, the Traumatic Brain Injury Center of Excellence (TBICoE) encourages medical providers and others in the military community to 'Be TBI Ready.' This year's Brain Injury Awareness Month theme highlights the importance of being up-to-date with TBICoE's latest research, educational training, and clinical resources to assess and treat service members and veterans who have sustained a TBI.
We feature interviews with Dr. Emma Gregory, TBICoE's Research Branch chief, Dr. Mark Ettenhofer, senior research neuropsychologist, and Regional Educational Coordinators Casey Becker(Landstuhl Germany), Chris Lewandoski (Fort Carson, CO.), and Kristen Benson (Fort Belvoir, VA.).
Picking Your Brain episodes interview TBI subject matter experts about everything from the latest clinical recommendations, the effects sustaining a TBI has on service members and veterans, and the loved ones who support their recovery process.
