SUMMARY:BIF Self Paced Course (Live Sessions) November 2025
DESCRIPTION:Developed by experienced clinicians and rehabilitation professionals\, the Brain Injury Fundamentals Self-Paced Course is a flexible\, self-guided training and certificate program designed for non-licensed direct care staff\, facility personnel\, family members\, first responders\, and community members who support individuals living with brain injuries. No prior experience is required—making it an ideal starting point for those new to brain injury care. Most of the course is asynchronous\, allowing participants to complete seven on-demand video modules (available 24/7) at their own pace. A mandatory live instructor-led webinar\, held once monthly\, provides interactive guidance and is required to earn the certificate. Registration is ongoing\, and participants can choose the live session date that best fits their schedule. Course content includes essential topics such as cognition\, behavior\, communication\, medical complications\, medication safety\, and family support. The program takes approximately eight hours to complete. While this course is not a prerequisite\, it offers an excellent introduction for those interested in pursuing advanced opportunities such as the Certified Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS) credential\, becoming a CBIS Trainer (CBIST)\, or earning the CBIS Advanced Practice (CBIS-AP) distinction—ideal next steps for professionals looking to expand their impact in brain injury rehabilitation.
