SPORTS CONCUSSION VIRTUAL CONFERENCE
Brian W. Hainline, MD, FAAN
The AAN's Sports Concussion Conference, now in its 7th year of advancing concussion knowledge, will look different as we embrace a virtual setting. In this new format, we have developed an equally exciting meeting and have kept engaging sessions that have been most popular and impactful in the past, including a can’t-miss workshop on the ocular motor examination and the scientific and clinical highlights of the past year. We’re excited to have you join us!

Zoom Best Practices and Technical Support Zoom Tips and Tricks 1. Before the meeting, make sure your computer and Zoom are updated. If you don’t have Zoom, you can download it here for free. 2. Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with your surroundings. If you have never used Zoom before, we suggest joining the conference five minutes early to allow time for troubleshooting. 3. On the day of the conference, make sure to sit in a quiet area with good internet connection prior to logging in to the Online Learning Center. Find a comfortable chair and appropriate table height so you don’t strain your neck. 4. Do a quick run through of the Sports Concussion Conference Resource Guide and familiarize yourself with the schedule so you can be on time during the conference. You might find it helpful to print this out and have in front of you or download it so you can reference it throughout the event. 5. Use the chat function in Zoom to engage with speakers and the Q&A function to ask questions you have about the presentation. A moderator will address your question to the speaker.
Zoom Technical Support If you experience technical difficulties any time during the day, check out these Zoom support and resources.

Accreditation/CME/Core Competencies AMA CME Definition/Educational Content of Certified CME The AMA HOD and the Council on Medical Education have defined continuing medical education as follows: CME consists of educational activities which serve to maintain, develop, or increase the knowledge, skills, and professional performance and relationships that a physician uses to provide services for patients, the public, or the profession. The content of CME is the body of knowledge and skills generally recognized and accepted by the profession as within the basic medical sciences, the discipline of clinical medicine, and the provision of health care to the public. (HOD policy #300.988) Definition of Certified CME • Nonpromotional learning activities certified for credit prior to the activity by an organization authorized by the credit system owner, or • Nonpromotional learning activities for which the credit system owner directly awards credit Accredited CME providers may certify nonclinical subjects (e.g., office management, patient-physician communications, or faculty development) for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ as long as these are appropriate to a physician audience and benefit the profession, patient care, or public health. CME activities may describe or explain complementary and alternative health care practices. As with any CME activity, these need to include discussion of the existing level of scientific evidence that supports the practices. However, education that advocates specific alternative therapies or teaches how to perform associated procedures, without scientific evidence or general acceptance among the profession that supports their efficacy and safety, cannot be certified for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. Content Validation The AANI, as an ACCME accredited provider, is responsible for validating the clinical content of CME activities that it provides. Specifically, (1) All the recommendations involving clinical medicine in a CME activity must be based on evidence that is accepted within the profession of medicine as adequate justification for their indications and contraindications in the care of patients. (2) All scientific research referred to, reported, or used in CME in support or justification of a patient care recommendation must conform to the generally accepted standards of experimental design, data collection, and analysis.
Disclaimers/Disclosures Disclaimers The primary purpose of this program is to meet the educational needs of its members and address practice gaps by providing practice oriented and scientifically based educational activities that will maintain and advance competence and performance in the field of neurology. A diversity of opinions exists in the medical field and the views of the conference faculty do not represent those of the AAN/AANI or constitute endorsement by the AAN/AANI. The AAN/AANI disclaims any and all liability for the claims that may result from the use or nonuse of information, publications, therapies, and/or services discussed at its conferences.
