Course Overview

Brain injury patients will be treated by a variety of health care professionals (physicians, nurses, therapists, etc.) from the time of initial trauma and throughout the rehabilitation process. While comprehensive, multidisciplinary rehabilitation treatment provided by a diverse team of experienced professionals has proven effective in treating brain injury patients; coordination between the various health care providers is often not as integrated as necessary. Team members may not fully understand each other’s role in the rehabilitation process causing communication breakdowns. More than ever, there is a need to share current research, outcomes, and perspectives across medical specialties to continue the quest for quality brain injury treatment and rehabilitation.

The Rehabilitation Center at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas

The Rehabilitation Center at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas is a comprehensive rehabilitation facility in northern San Diego County, providing a full range of rehabilitation services with specialization in Neuroscience Services. It is the first facility in the area to be fully accredited in both Brain Injury and Stroke services by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF)—the gold standard for medical rehabilitation facilities—and is entrusted by the United States military with care of returning servicemen’s combat-related traumatic brain injuries. In addition, Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas is the only hospital in San Diego County to have both JCAHO and CARF accreditation for stroke patients from the emergency department through rehabilitation.
