Dr. Monica Vavilala: A Roadmap for Accelerating Progress
The labels of “mild,” “moderate,” and “severe” to classify traumatic brain injury (TBI) are imprecise and are ineffective. Dr. Monica Vavilala is a board-certified anesthesiologist and director of Harborview's Injury Prevention and Research Center. Earlier this year Dr. Vavilala served on a task force to help update and personalize traumatic brain injuries to better guide patient care. In this conversation, Dr. Vavilala shares why this update and personalization for traumatic brain injuries is crucial for both doctors and patients.
This episode of Brain Injury Today Podcast is sponsored by WA State Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Council, and is produced and edited by Goal17Media.com on behalf of Goal17Foundation.org.
