CONCUSSION EDUCATION


Atlantis University recognizes that concussions are a significant risk to those participating in athletics. A Concussion Management Plan has been developed to provide a protocol for the recognition, evaluation, management, and return-to-play decisions for those studentathletes who are diagnosed with a concussion. Part of this plan involves educating our coaches and student-athletes to recognize the signs and symptoms of a concussion, possible injury mechanisms of a concussion and the importance of immediately referring a student-athlete suspected of having a concussion for proper evaluation by appropriate medical personnel.
