Case Study #1: Diagnosing Mild Traumatic Brain Injury is now available to Department of Defense (DoD) health care professionals (including civilians who serve within DoD facilities) on the Military Health System Learning Portal—MHS Learn.

A series of 12 web-based case studies were developed through a curriculum development committee led by DCoE and feature actual mild TBI cases. The case studies provide an opportunity for health care professionals to gain additional understanding about assessment and treatment of mild TBI in a self-paced environment. One FREE continuing education unit (CEU) or continuing medical education (CME) credit is offered per course!*

One case will be released each month and remain on MHS Learn when subsequent cases are posted. The second case study is expected to be released in November. For instructions on how to access the TBI web-based case studies on MHS Learn, click here.

For more information about the web-based case studies, please contact Lt. Cmdr. Tara Cozzarelli at: Tara.Cozzarelli@tma.osd.mil.

*Check out the DCoE website for updated TBI information for warriors, families and health professionals.

    Today we have hundreds of thousands of our veterans who are in prison or who are homeless because of a past crime they've committed following their return from war. Take for example, K.K. who received three Purple Heart Medals, a Bronze Star with V device, serveral Army Commendation Medals for Valor and who has been diagnosed with both PTSD and two TBI's. He is not receiving any medical treatment for his service-connected ills because the Bureau of Prisons has stated that they don't know how to treat him. The truth is that they can't afford to treat these wounded warriors. Please don't forget these wounded warriors of the Vietnam War who today find themselves locked up and essentially forgotten. Please help them in any way possible to get the medical treatment they deserve.

    I was diagnosed with tbi in 2007 and now I have deteriorated so badly that my neuropsysh is saying I have no tbi just ptsd. My wife is helping me and she has been doing research and says I have a mtbi/ptsd. I was an infantry mortarman exposed to many ieds, blasts, smoke etc. I believe I am not getting the proper treatment. Can someone help me?
