Welcome to JAT Chat, presented by the Journal of Athletic Training, the official journal of the National Athletic Trainers' Association. In this episode, co-host Dr. Tom Campbell speaks with Dr. Jacob Resch and Dr. John MacKnight (University of Virginia) about the recent publication, "Leveraging the Enhanced Sports as a Laboratory Assessment Model to Cross-Validate a Formula Used to Predict Clinical Recovery From Concussion in Collegiate Athletes". 
This episode discusses a study that cross-validates a previously published prognostic formula for concussion recovery using the Enhanced SLAM point-of-care data model in collegiate athletes.
Key predictors included total symptom severity and the 24-hour duration of drowsiness, neck pain, nervousness, and tingling; the findings emphasize clinical relevance, clinician–researcher collaboration, and using the formula as an adjunct to—not a replacement for—clinical judgment.
