Dr.
Czarnota will provide consultation services with respect to the administration of the ImPACT
testing component of the CMP Student-Athlete Concussion Management
Program.
He will train and supervise one or
more Qualified Test Evaluators who will be accountable for reviewing
the baseline tests and the post-injury tests when they are first submitted.
He will also be responsible for arranging services from Associate Licensed
Neuropsychologists who will assist with the test evaluations as
demand warrants.
Once the brain functions of an injured student-athlete are back to
within normal range of the baseline test scores, the Test Evaluators
will forward the results to Dr. Czarnota or one of the CMP
Associate Licensed Neuropsychology Partners for final analysis before the
School CMP Leader is informed that the student-athlete has returned
to his/her normal baseline level. Notification will be sent to the
School CMP Leader as soon as possible following careful examination
of the test results for the student-athlete.
