Guest Speaker: Richard G. Ellenbogen ’80 MD’83, P’11 Professor and Chairman of the Department of Neurological Surgery, University of Washington School of Medicine, and Theodore S. Roberts Endowed Chair of Pediatric Neurological Surgery Service Chief, Harborview Medical Center Co-Chairman of the NFL Head, Neck and Spine Committee Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of neurological burden in the world, according to the World Health Organization. The CDC has estimated that more than 1.7 million people in the US will suffer a TBI this year alone. A perfect storm of high-profile events has combined to create the current media frenzy on this subject. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and their toll on soldiers’ brains and mental health, along with our increased recognition of concussions in youth athletes and the newly published long-term neurological sequelae in professional athletes, have stimulated debate about the prevention of TBI. The NFL has been the perfect incubator to study this important health issue. Dr. Ellenbogen will survey the scientific principles being applied to the study of sports-related TBI and how physicians can educate and advocate for the 300 million student athletes who participate in sports throughout the world. This activity has been approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credi(TM).
