Dr. Michael Turner, ICHIRF Medical Director & Chairman, is honoured to be one of just five keynote speakers presenting at this year's @IOCprevConf.
Dr. T will challenge the notion that athletes' 'return to play' should be the main focus of consultations & treatment. #concussion

Horse racing is more dangerous than football for concussions. Why isn't the US doing more? courier-journal.com/story/neโฆ
