The Brain Trauma Foundation
The Brain Trauma Foundation was founded to improve the outcome of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) patients by developing best practice guidelines, conducting clinical research and educating medical personnel.

- Guidelines: In the past, healthcare professionals have had difficulty in assessing the effectiveness of various diagnostic and treatment options for TBI. To meet this critical need, BTF has developed scientific evidence-based Guidelines. These Guidelines give medical personnel the ability to develop effective protocols that can improve the survival and outcomes of TBI patients.
- Educational opportunities for all levels of healthcare professionals such as physicians, nurses and EMS. Online educational resources include recorded presentations, interactive learning modules, learning portal, lunchtime lectures etc.
