About UHealth Sports Medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine & KiDZ Neuroscience Center
The Concussion Program was developed in 1995 due to the need for many high school and college athletes to be assessed and treated from the effects of a concussion. This is a comprehensive concussion program. We offer a neurological examination, neurodiagnostic imaging and neurocognitive and ImPACT testing.
The Concussion Clinic is held on Tuesday afternoons during the year and on Saturday mornings during the football season.
