Comments from this years attendees included:
Certified Brain Injury Specialist! Education has always been a core component of the Brain Injury Association of Michigan’s mission and vision. In October 2003, the Brain Injury Association of Michigan began a program with the Academy of Certified Brain Injury Specialists (ACBIS) to bring the certification to Michigan brain injury professionals. The ACBIS program provides recognition of advanced studies in brain injury services. Certification is not restricted to any one profession or discipline. It is intended for anyone who delivers services specific to brain injury. The Michigan ACBIS program has provided direct input into the national ACBIS program and has become a model for other state associations in creating this program. Each applicant receives a personal phone call regarding the examination results. Future progress is monitored to ensure a timely recertification process. Continuing education credits are tracked for those attending the Annual Conferences. We offer the Certified Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS) Level I five-hour review course and proctored examinations. The course is a review of highlights and key points only. Individual preparation is a prerequisite for participation. All attendees must be pre-approved. The Training Manual is no longer available for download. Call the BIAMI office for more information. For materials, click the appropriate link below: CBIS - Certified Brain Injury Specialist
