The Concussion Education Modules
Stay current. Stay confident. Stay ahead in concussion care.
The Brain Injury Association of New York State’s Concussion Outreach Prevention Education (COPE) Modules offer free, online learning designed for today’s healthcare professionals. Presented by leading concussion experts, these on-demand sessions deliver the latest evidence-based strategies for assessing, diagnosing, and managing concussion patients, whenever and wherever it fits your schedule.
Each module is built with practical application in mind, helping you strengthen your clinical approach while keeping pace with evolving standards of care. Participants can also earn applicable continuing education units (CEUs) and professional education credits, making it easier to meet licensure and certification requirements while expanding your expertise.
COPE programming is offered in partnership with the New York State Athletic Trainers’ Association and includes both in-person sessions and online modules. All programs are provided at no cost, supported by funding from the New York State Department of Health in collaboration with the New York State Senate.
Advance your knowledge. Strengthen your practice. And continue delivering the level of care your patients depend on.
