I have been working for the past few months in organizing a conference entitled “Traumatic Brain Injury: The Silent Epidemic.” This will be hosted by the Department of Communicative Disorders and Deaf Education at Utah State University on March 27th at the Eccles Conference Center on campus. It will be an all day conference and will be presented by an interdisciplinary faculty of experts who will address issues relating to TBI from the viewpoint of speech language pathologists, audiologists, lawyers, veterans vocational rehabilitationists, neuropsychologists, physiatrists, first responders, and TBI victims.

For further information go to http://tbiconference.usu.edu.

Early registration (before March 14th) is $75 and $25 for university students. Lunch is included. Parking is free.

This is a very timely event. Proceeds will support the Utah State University Student Academy of Audiology international hearing healthcare humanitarian mission.
