Acquired Brain Injury

Traumatic Brain Injury is a challenge for VA clinician: 

  • Manifestations are often occult
  • Natural course is not always predicable
  • Treatment options need further research
  • Some studies from non military trauma are applicable
  • Much research is needed to fully understand condition.
  • There is an opportunity for residents to be a part of this endeavor.

 


The VA offers opportunity for experience caring for brain injuy patients.
