Program Director Concussion Education
San Antonio, Texas, Us
Dr. Schwartz created and designed 100% of what was the world's first concussion education program that was post-professional, multidisciplinary, and year long in nature.The EIM Concussion Management Certification (CMC), was designed for physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, athletic trainers, as well as other professionals looking to develop their skills in evaluation and management of concussion through the lifespan and in a variety of populations. This multidisciplinary certification gave practitioners the competence and confidence to better identify, treat, and manage the concussion patient along the entire continuum of recovery from acute to chronic and pediatric to geriatric.This 12-month program provides the latest clinical conversations, evidence-based guidelines, and consensus statements while integrating real-world experiences from patients, providers, and caregivers who have navigated the complex healthcare network of today. Coursework consisted of a dynamic combination of didactic, collaborative, and clinical education experiences using a blend of distance learning, online courses, and weekend intensive on-site courses.Faculty included neurologists (adult and pediatric), emergency medicine physicians, vestibular physical therapist, traumatic head and neck disorder scientists, occupational therapist/vision therapy, neurogenic speech-language pathologist, board certified sports clinical specialist physical therapists, certified athletic trainers, neuroscientist, and a neuropsychologist.
