13^th Annual Scientific Conference
November 22-23, 2008
San Diego, CA

Every year we put on the Annual SRISD Scientific Conference (formerly the Advanced Program) here in San Diego. It is open only to graduates within the last five years of the four-module Whiplash and Brain Injury Traumatology program. The purpose of the Annual SRISD Scientific Conference is to review the entire year of scientific research and publication from the diverse fields of clinical medicine and automotive safety engineering, as well as research coming directly from SRISD and its research affiliate, the Center for Research into Automotive Safety and Health. In addition to the literature indexed by the National Library of Medicine, the conference reviews literature published in the Annual Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine (AAAM) Scientific Program, the Annual Conference of the International Research Council on the Biomechanics of Impact (IRCOBI), the Annual SAE Stapp Car Crash Conference (and SAE general publications), the Annual International Traffic Medicine Association (ITMA) Conference, and the Annual International Technical Conference on the Enhanced Safety of Vehicles (ESV). Dr. Croft also reviews the happenings and proceedings at the various world conferences on whiplash and other related fields.

Whiplash and Brain Injury Traumatology: Graduates of this program have received the most in-depth, science-based training available today. The program covers the entire spectrum from the physics of motor vehicle crashes to human biomechanics to diagnostics and management. (Note that in previous years, the program was referred to as the Masters’ Certification Program but was changed to the current name to more accurately reflect the current focus of the program, and to avoid confusion over the meaning of the word ‘Masters.’ For an overview of the current courses, go to SEMINARS.

The Annual SRISD Scientific Conference (formerly the Annual Advanced Program): This advanced program is offered only to graduates of the Whiplash and Brain Injury Traumatology program.

CRASH: CRASH is an opportunity for any interested person to observe, first hand, human subject full scale crash testing at the Spine Research Institute of San Diego testing facility. In addition, attendees will learn about crash testing, crash safety, and related engineering and clinical topics over a comprehensive three-day course.
