Booking a return-to-play visit in Alabama?
The largest concentrations of Alabama concussion care are in Birmingham, Montgomery and Huntsville. If the appointment is about getting a student athlete cleared after a concussion, Alabama law decides whose signature the school must accept — under the current statute: physician only. What that means in practice, and whether a return-to-learn plan is required, is covered in plain English on the Alabama concussion law page.
