New York State Program to Examine Brain Injury In the Military

Some of the topics for discussion include:

• the clinical and psychosocial implication of brain injury sustained in combat
• the challenges faced by wounded warriors returning to the community
• the overlap among Traumatic Brain Injury, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other conditions

The conference is scheduled to be held in New York City on April 21, 2009 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the OMRDD auditorium located at 75 Morton Street, Manhattan.  You can get further information at the Brain Injury Association of New York State web site,
