TBICoE: Military Acute Concussion Evaluation 2 (MACE 2) - 2026

This course trains attendees in the use of the Military Acute Concussion Evaluation 2 (MACE 2). The MACE 2 is a multimodal tool developed to standardize the initial evaluation and assessment of concussion. Use of the MACE 2 helps providers determine whether an individual has met concussion diagnostic criteria as outlined by the Department of Defense. This training reviews the history and screening components of the MACE 2 as well as the four additional evaluation elements—a symptom report, brief neurological exam, cognitive assessment, and the Vestibular Ocular-Motor Screening. This in-depth training combines didactic lecture, group discussion, case scenarios, and hands-on demonstration and practice.
