BCAK/SFU Live Online Seminar: Traumatic Brain Injury – October 28

On October 28, 2014, the Simon Fraser University Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology Department along with members of the British Columbia Association of Kinesiologists organized a presentation with an emphasis on Traumatic Brain Injury and Work.

One of our outstanding OTs, Jill Olson, was invited to cover topics that included:

·      Basic brain anatomy and cognitive function

·      Cognitive domains and factors impacting cognition

·      Roles and scope of various rehabilitation team members

·      How pacing and grading activities supports success

Given Jill’s areas of interest and expertise in mild traumatic brain injury and case management of catastrophic injury, there was a great deal of information to share with the audience. The feedback on Jill’s presentation went beyond expected and many viewers report they will be able to apply knowledge and strategies in their academic and clinical endeavours.
