Three Class Bundle - F2617 Beyond the CT Scan: Blood Tests for Brain Injury
Class | Registration opens Monday, September 28, 2026 10:00 AM EDT
For decades, evaluating a traumatic brain injury (TBI) meant waiting for a CT scan and watching for symptoms to unfold. That is beginning to change. In this presentation, Korley explores how a simple blood test can now help doctors detect brain injury, track how well a patient is responding to treatment, and even predict who is likely to recover well and who may need closer care. Drawing on his work as an emergency physician and researcher, Korley explains this emerging science in plain language and looks ahead to what it means for patients and families.
