Course Description

Traumatic brain injury is a leading cause of death and disability in Canada and worldwide.  This presentation addresses traumatic brain injury in the occupational context, which historically has received less attention than sports related injuries. This presentation provides an overview of this serious injury with a sex and gender lens.  We report on incidence across industry sectors as well as consequences. Perceived factors associated with return to work will also be presented. The prevalence and significance of sleep disorders in relation to occupational brain injury will be discussed.


You will learn to:

  • Understand the incidence and nature of occupational brain injury with a sex and gender lens
  • Understand perceived factors associated with return to work after occupational brain injury
  • Understand the nature and relevance of sleep disorders associated with occupational brain injury
