The Toronto ABI Network is pleased to be hosting a workshop to educate physicians about the effects of acquired brain injury.

The course objective is to enhance the knowledge of physicians in the assessment and management of behavioural, psychiatric, and cognitive impairments associated with acquired brain injuries.
Workshop speakers will include a panel of noted local professionals ~ Drs. Shree Bhalerao, Minella de Souza, Abe Snaiderman and David Wheler ~ and will be moderated by Dr. Chanth Seyone.
Presenters will:
- provide an overview of the neuropsychiatric, psychosocial and behavioural implications of acquired brain injury;
- identify basic components of psychiatric assessment;
- review bio-psychosocial treatment for the psychiatric complications of ABI patients;
- introduce the medical/legal interface for traumatic brain injury; and
- explore the challenges in managing ABI patients within a community practice.
Registration fees will be minimal to recover costs: $100 for regular registrations, or $75 for residents and students.
Interested parties are requested to complete and return the registration form. Enrollment will be limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.
Planning for this workshop has been a collaborative effort of the speakers, the Toronto ABI Network and York Simcoe Brain Injury Services (YSBIS). YSBIS is a partnership between York Central Hospital and the March of Dimes.
