An Intensive and Interactive Education Program on Concussion Management Is Now Available At Coggno
Sport Safety International partners with Coggno, a leading provider of Learning Management System (LMS), to introduce ConcussionWise, a comprehensive education program about concussion awareness and management.

CAMPBELL, CA, August 16, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Coggno is proud to announce another addition to its library of quality and relevant e-learning courses. ConcussionWise , a comprehensive education program by Sport Safety International, is a series of online courses in concussion prevention, recognition, care and recovery.

Sports Safety International, driven by its mission to "promote injury prevention and safe participation in physical activity and sports by providing the highest quality educational programming to athletes, parents, coaches, and sports medicine professionals" designed a family of online courses dedicated to concussion awareness among athletes, their parents and caretakers, coaches, and health providers, including physicians, athletic trainers and nurses.

As new scientific research and medical breakthroughs become available, it is now understood that concussion is not something to be dismissed. For instance, individuals or athletes who sustained head injuries need not lose consciousness to have a concussion. Some symptoms take days or over a period of time to develop and may show up a week after the incident. Thus, it is very important for the athletes and the people surrounding them to have the training to immediately recognize the symptoms of a concussion. Left unrecognized and untreated, concussion can be very dangerous.

Although numerous articles, reference materials and courses about concussion are available online, Sport Safety International's ConcussionWise courses are customized to fit the specific needs of different individuals involved in the prevention and management of concussions. Dr. Robb Rehberg, Executive Director of Sport Safety International and author of these courses stated that "When it comes to concussion education, one size does not fit all".

There are at least twenty engaging and interactive ConcussionWise courses available at the Coggno Marketplace, which are grouped together in the following categories:
- ConcussionWise AT
- ConcussionWise for Athletes
- ConcussionWise for Parents
- ConcussionWise for Coaches
- ConcussionWise RN for Nurses
- ConcussionWise DR for Physicians
These courses cover four critical phases of concussion management: Prevention, Preparation, Response and Recovery/Return to Play. The courses were formulated to be engaging and interactive to the learners for easy and effective understanding.

To get started on the program, please visit the Coggno Marketplace, http://coggno.com/onlinetraining/index. ConcussionWise for parents, athletes and coaches are free of charge, while professional courses for athletic trainers, physicians, and nurses are available for purchase. Courses for athletes, parents and coaches take about 15 minutes and courses for health providers take about 2-hours to complete.
