The Carolinas Rehabilitation Brain Injury Program has developed a multi-faceted orientation program to improve all staff members’ knowledge and comfort working with TBI and emphasize team goals to optimize care. To ensure all disciplines have introductory knowledge prior to working with persons with traumatic brain injury, we developed a Bimonthly Brain Injury Orientation Class taught by a physician, therapist, nurse, and mental health counselor.
