Message: [QUOTE="DMDMD, post: 1619422, member: 4309"] I think the most important part for the physician is 1) interest in concussions and 2) experience with concussions. He seems to have been in sports medicine for a long time, his actual specialty isn't that relevant. However, from a public relations standpoint given the increased attention on concussions recently, it would look better if we had a "concussion specialist," whatever that means. I'm a bit surprised that they are disqualifying kids from further participation without specialty referral though. UPITT has an excellent center that is not too far away. IMO kids who want to continue to participate but about whom the staff has concerns, should be sent for outside, independent specialty referral and we accept whatever conclusion they and the kid's family comes up with.
