UHealth Concussion Program

For National Concussion Awareness Day, we and @UConcussion share the third episode of the Hotz Spot Podcast featuring Ashlee Horn “Ain’t That a Hit to the Head”. We ask everyone start their own concussion conversation today and take the #MelonPledge kidzneurosciencecenter.com/hotz-spot-ep-3/

ICYMI: Dr. Gillian Hotz interviews our #UConcussion Research Fellow, Luke O’Neil about concussion protocol for returning injured athletes back to play and advice for parents. kidzneurosciencecenter.com/hotz-spot-ep-1/

Our study in The Sport Journal examined factors that influence return to play (RTP) and learn (RTL) outcomes for high school athletes recovering from sports-related concussions, highlighting the need for safe reintegration into classrooms and sports! #ConcussionResearch

This week's concussion workshops continue, this time in Palm Beach with the ATCs and ADs of @pbcsd at @WellingtonHSFL. Like Miami-Dade, we're providing the region's schools with the latest in concussion management protocols for the safety of youth athletes.

Another year, another successful Concussion Workshop seminar with @MDCPS athletic trainers and directors. 🙌 Thank you for being the first line of defense to keep our youth athletes safe - and thank you @FinsOffTheField and @BuonicontiFund for your endless support.

Congratulations to Jacob Griffin, UConcussion’s very first research fellow! Jacob was just accepted to UM Medical School, where he’ll begin in fall 2023, following his fellowship here. Thanks to him, a decade of our concussion surveillance data has been streamlined for research.

Today, for National Athletic Training Month, we thank the athletic trainers and directors in South Florida who work with the #UConcussion program. You are our front line to ensure our youth athletes are always protected by the Countywide Concussion Care protocol. THANK YOU!

The Kidz Neuroscience Center at TMP celebrated the 10th Anniversary of the Countywide Concussion Care Program and passing of the Youth Concussion Legislation in 2012. Read more here bit.ly/3FVWSR1 #ConcussionCare #KidzNeuroscience #TheMiamiProject #LifeChangingScience

Celebrated 10 years of the @UHealthSports Countywide Concussion Cares program. Dr. Gillian Hotz has built an amazing program that supports @MDCPS athletes and helps provide impact testing and superior care. @FinsOffTheField is a proud partner for over 7 years

"Dr. Coto’s research proposal will evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of the Pediatric I-Portal Portable Assessment System (I-PASc) in diagnosing concussions/mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in pediatric patients." miamictsi.org/career-develop…

We are grateful to @MDCPS and @FinsOffTheField for supporting the Countywide Concussion Care program, now a decade strong. It is thanks to the enduring legacy of the late Jason Jenkins that this program continues, ensuring all public high school athletes get baseline tested.

The UConcussion program will forever be indebted to Jason Jenkins of the @MiamiDolphins. We are deeply saddened by his passing and grateful for all the years of friendship and support of the Countywide Concussion Care Program.

Very sad and unexpected news. Jason Jenkins' leadership made @FinsOffTheField champions for a unified South Florida community; a catalyst working to "support real change." Our staff extend our deepest condolences.

Today, @pbcsd athletic trainers and directors received education about properly managing youth athlete concussions. This education is vital to ensuring our ADs and ATCs remain the first line of defense to keep youth athletes safe in high school sports. 💪

Thank you to our summer @UConcussion and @iBikeSafe interns for their phenomenal assistance and support. 😊 👍

Another year, another concussion education workshop with the ATCs and ADs of @MDCPS. Thank you to MDCPS Athletics for keeping our youth athletes safe. 🙌

Thank you @univmiami Athletics and ATCs for attending this year's concussion education workshop. Keep playing safe! 🙌

Mood when you find out the 2022 Homecoming game is November 5th... against FSU! 🙌 cc @CanesFootball 👀
