This unique ring-bound book provides a reproduction of the Veterans Administration (VA) Independent Study Course on Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), released in January 2004 as part of the Veterans Health Initiative. "This independent study presents an overview of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) issues that Primary Care practitioners may encounter when providing care to veterans and active duty military personnel. After completing this independent study, participants will be able to: Identify the epidemiology and the nature of TBI; Describe concussion management and treatment of mild TBI; List the rehabilitation process for a Veteran with TBI; Identify medical and physical problems of Veterans with TBI; Identify cognitive problems for Veterans with TBI; Recognize emotional and behavioral problems for Veterans with TBI; Explain TBI in the Elderly and Aging with TBI; List the issues and impact on the TBI survivor and their family; Describe the issues related to driving for a TBI survivor; and Describe the VA TBI System of Care. As a result of this program, clinicians will have a broader base of knowledge with which to provide effective care to patients with TBI and a better understanding of patients who experience this condition. Drug treatments and dosages provided in this study guide should be double-checked prior to prescribing therapy. This independent study is primarily designed for Department of Veterans Affairs clinicians and interested VA staff. Other health care providers, especially those working in veterans and military health care facilities in the U.S., also are encouraged to complete this study module.
