About this Certificate Program
The effects of catastrophic brain injuries affect millions of people every year. This certificate program provides a comprehensive review of the effects of a brain injury on an individual. Participants will learn about the pathophysiology of a brain injury and how a brain injury affects bodily systems, communication, and psychosocial behavior, which should improve a clinician’s ability to customize interventions to address specific deficits. This certificate is provided in six courses. In course one, learners are exposed to pathophysiology and mechanism of brain injury. In course two, participants will learn how brain injury interfaces with every bodily system. Course three focuses on strategies to address deficits in nutrition, communication, and elimination. In course four, learners are exposed to interventions to address agitation and safety concerns. Course five focuses on addressing functional abilities affected by a brain injury. This certificate concludes with course six, which addresses the behavioral and psychosocial changes seen in persons with a brain injury.
