Return to Play
OHSU has developed a concussion education program with information about return to play protocols for the expanded list of health care professionals who can now provide medical release to youth athletes suspected of having concussion, as described in Oregon SB 1547.

Health care professionals of all disciplines can benefit from more concussion education. This specifically includes medical doctors, osteopathic doctors, chiropractic doctors, naturopathic doctors, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, psychologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, athletic trainers, optometrists, nurses, counselors, educators or other medical or educational professionals who have interest in improving their knowledge of concussion evaluation and care.
Specifically, this program, when completed, will fulfill the training requirements of qualified health care professionals to provide medical clearance for return to play for Oregon youth with concussions.
