    13/08/2026 | 23 mins.
    If you haven't listened to part one please check it out here.
    Dr. Piya Sorcar, PhD, CEO TeachAids, Adjunct Professor of Pediatrics, Stanford School of Medicine talks to Lauren and Nick about concussion education and TeachAids in PART TWO. Leveraging her wealth of experience, including her previous program tackling HIV/AIDS education, Dr. Sorcar discuss the importance of genuine concussion education, free concussion education from TeachAids. Not simply telling athletes to not do something, or to remind them of the dangers, Piya and TeachAids, use the power of technology and peer messaging to really get through. In part two we talk about the education and communication aspect that has made TeachAids so effective and successful. Whether it's a fun game amongst friends or a more competitive official school or univesity league, TeachAids CrashCourse Concussion Education has become an increasingly important part of educating the public in the US, Canada, UK and globally. Did I mention it's free?!
