What We Have Learned From The Marine Casualties Returning From War

Dr. Michael Yochelson, M.D., joins NRH as the Director of Brain Injury Programs. He obtained his B.S. from Duke University and his M.D. from George Washington University School of Medicine. He completed an internal medicine internship, neurology residency and PM&R residency in the National Capital Consortium (National Naval Medical Center/Walter Reed Army Medical Center), where he was the only military physician dual board certified in neurology and physiatry.

Following an assignment to the U.S. Naval Hospital Yokosuka in Japan, he returned stateside and has served for the past two years as the associate program director for the neurology residency, director of the EMG laboratory and chairman of the pain committee at the National Naval Medical Center where he established and directed the TBI multi-disciplinary team to evaluate and follow the many brain injured marines and sailors returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

This speaker was recorded by ScribeMedia.org at the New York Academy of Traumatic Brain Injury’s annual conference, Polytraumatic Wounds of War and Terrorism: Brain Injury, Somatic Injury, and Stress in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam and the World Trade Center.
