Description
Acquired brain injury (ABI) such as traumatic brain injury (TBI) may compromise an individual’s ability to complete their jobs safely. This is critical for certain occupational specialties such as war fighters, aviators, health care, and law enforcement. Individuals in these professions need to be able to perform their duties in complex and dynamic environments and mistakes can impact the lives and safety of themselves and others. ABI can impact their ability to pay attention, think quickly, problem solve, and reason, as well as their overall mental stamina. It is vital that there are proper assessment and rehabilitation practices for those who deal with dangerous material (e.g., explosives), work in extremely volatile environments (e.g., special operation forces), and operate large people transporters (e.g., flight crew and aviators), as well as those in certain leadership roles. Clinicians must consider if any impairments in cognition impact the patient’s cognitive readiness for their specific duties. Traditionally, testing and rehabilitation of cognition in these high-risk occupations has focused on identification of deficits and disability based on civilian models without specific consideration of the advanced and specific cognitive skills needed. This workshop will focus on the cognitive skills required in these high-risk occupations and the cognitive assessments currently used to determine readiness to return to work in specific areas such as the military. The strengths and weaknesses of these standards will be discussed as well as review of the efficacy of cognitive rehabilitation. Results of novel clinical trials for rehabilitation will also be reviewed that may improve our treatment outcomes.
After the webinar, participants will be able to:
After the webinar, participants will be able to:
1. Describe the cognitive demands of high-risk occupations (e.g., war fighters and aviators) that are necessary for determining cognitive readiness for return to work after acquired brain injury
2. Identify current trends and professional standards in cognitive assessment and rehabilitation of war fighters and aviators
3. Explain the efficacy of cognitive rehabilitation in these populations as well as the novel approaches that are used to optimize a patient's ability to return to work while maintaining public safety
Target Audience: Clinical Neuropsychologists

Dr. Jason Bailie is the Senior Clinical Research Director for the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center (DVBIC) site at Camp Pendleton in Southern California. He supports clinical research, education, and treatment of traumatic brain injury at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton to include the I Marine Expeditionary Force. His research is focused on the cognitive and psychological consequences of traumatic brain injury with specific focus on repetitive injury from blast exposures in combat operations and training. In addition to his research, Dr. Bailie serves as Clinical Neuropsychologist at the Concussion Care Clinic and provides educational outreach on traumatic brain injury to medical providers, active-duty service members, and caregivers of injured veterans. Prior to arriving at Camp Pendleton, Dr. Bailie was a principal scientist at Naval Medical Center San Diego where he supported clinical research and served as a clinical neuropsychologist from 2011-2014. He earned his doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Cincinnati and completed his internship at the West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Medical Center. He completed a Neuropsychology Postdoctoral Fellowship at Patton State Hospital in 2011 where he specialized in neurobehavioral effects of major psychiatric disorders and forensics.
