Purpose and Goals
The OSU Concussion Journal Club is a collaborative, interdisciplinary forum where students, researchers, and clinicians gather to discuss recent advancements in concussion research. Each session features a focused discussion on a peer-reviewed journal article, examining topics such as injury mechanisms, diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and long-term effects of concussions. The goal is to foster critical thinking, promote knowledge exchange, and encourage networking among individuals dedicated to advancing concussion science and improving clinical outcomes.
Meetings are held on the third Friday of each month from 3:30 - 4:30pm, in-person at Martha Morehouse Pavilion, Room 2310, or virtually via Microsoft Teams.
To join the mailing list, or to be sent the link to join, please email Dr. Caccese.
