Esteemed faculty will lead participants through the different stages, starting from disorders of consciousness (DoC) (Rancho Los Amigos I-III) and then into the challenging Rancho IV population where behavior and agitation\/aggression is often seen. Physicians, clinicians and nurses will provide a strong foundation of knowledge, as well as practical suggestions and applications. The course will explore various recovery periods, including confusion, post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) and increasing awareness and independence. Integral therapeutic processes such as self-regulation, return to meaningful activity and facilitation, will be addressed. Finally, the course will delve into the topic of ethics and decision-making, concluding with a discussion on how to handle these critical aspects of patient care. By the end of the course, you will have a deep understanding of the TBI recovery process, along with practical skills and knowledge to help patients at different stages of recovery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDATES AND DELIVERY METHOD\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThis is an on-demand course designed to accommodate your busy schedule.
