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