Protect Your Head: Staying Safe Social Distancing Covers Traumatic Brain Injury - a podcast by UNC Trauma Program

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) are a serious result of many types of accidents including falls, car crashes, and sports injuries. Prevention and early detection and treatment are important to prevent the serious long-term effects that TBIs can cause. In this episode I interview Scott Pokorney, Traumatic Brain Injury Team Lead at the North Carolina Department of Health & Human Services.  We discuss the burden of TBIs and the best way to prevent and respond to this type of injury.  Scott recommends visiting the following resources for more information:
