The litigation may have slowed when it comes to concussions. But certainly not the debate about chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
Just a couple years ago, those who questioned the threat of CTE in contact sports were considered to be in denial. That has changed, however, in the last 18 months, thanks to a better understanding in the medical community and courts, who have reconsidered the prevalence of CTE as well as the assumption that it is a progressive, degenerative disease.
The debate over CTE will take center stage on the morning of April 15 in Indianapolis when experts gather at the Sheraton Indianapolis Centre to discuss CTE & Sports — A New Understanding.
The moderated panel discussions will examine:
The State of the Science;
Cases in the News; and
Best Practices for Sports Administrators.
Among the already confirmed panelists are Brian Hainline, the NCAA’s Chief Medical Officer, Uzma Samadani, MD; Rudy Castellani, MD; Joe Sala, PhD; Bill Barr, PhD; and Tom McAllister, chair of Psychiatry at IU School of Medicine.
