Professional Podcasts has produced a video presentation on pediatric concussion for Samost Jewish Family & Children’s Service of Southern New Jersey, based on a program by Dr. Michael Goodman of Cooper Health System.
The program, “What Parents Need to Know about Pediatric Concussion,” was recorded at the Katz JCC Family Activity Center, and includes an audience Q&A session.
Professional Podcasts uses proprietary video technology to combine Dr. Goodman’s slide presentation with his oral remarks in a video format that makes both elements visible to the viewer. The video will be available on the JFCS website shortly. You can also view it in the player below.
