Our study in The Sport Journal examined factors that influence return to play (RTP) and learn (RTL) outcomes for high school athletes recovering from sports-related concussions, highlighting the need for safe reintegration into classrooms and sports! #ConcussionResearch

This week's concussion workshops continue, this time in Palm Beach with the ATCs and ADs of @pbcsd at @WellingtonHSFL.

Like Miami-Dade, we're providing the region's schools with the latest in concussion management protocols for the safety of youth athletes.

Another year, another successful Concussion Workshop seminar with @MDCPS athletic trainers and directors. 🙌

Thank you for being the first line of defense to keep our youth athletes safe - and thank you @FinsOffTheField and @BuonicontiFund for your endless support.

Congratulations to Jacob Griffin, UConcussion’s very first research fellow! Jacob was just accepted to UM Medical School, where he’ll begin in fall 2023, following his fellowship here. Thanks to him, a decade of our concussion surveillance data has been streamlined for research.

Today, for National Athletic Training Month, we thank the athletic trainers and directors in South Florida who work with the #UConcussion program.

You are our front line to ensure our youth athletes are always protected by the Countywide Concussion Care protocol.

THANK YOU!

We are grateful to @MDCPS and @FinsOffTheField for supporting the Countywide Concussion Care program, now a decade strong.

It is thanks to the enduring legacy of the late Jason Jenkins that this program continues, ensuring all public high school athletes get baseline tested.

[UHealth Concussion Program @UConcussion]

The UConcussion program will forever be indebted to Jason Jenkins of the @MiamiDolphins.

We are deeply saddened by his passing and grateful for all the years of friendship and support of the Countywide Concussion Care Program.

[UHealth Concussion Program @UConcussion]

Very sad and unexpected news.

Jason Jenkins' leadership made @FinsOffTheField champions for a unified South Florida community; a catalyst working to "support real change."

Our staff extend our deepest condolences.

[Miami Dolphins @MiamiDolphins]

Trailblazer. Champion. Kind.

We are heartbroken to share that Dolphins SVP of Communications and Community Affairs Jason Jenkins has passed away.

[UHealth Concussion Program @UConcussion]
