Dr. Preston Calvert Joins PWC as Medical Advisor and Director of New mTBI Screening Program

In 2017, Calvert has implemented the new PWC mTBI (minimal Traumatic Brain Injury) Screening Program as port of the protocol for possible concussion testing among PWC drivers. The screening will involve a brief questionnaire called the SCAT3 test, with sporting questions adapted to motorsports participation, as well as a test of eye movement and panning called the King-Devick Test.  “I’m extremely pleased to be working with the Pirelli World Challenge as a medical advisor and also initiate the new mTBI screening program,” said Calvert. “We believe this exciting new testing program will become the easiest format to screen drivers of a possible concussion symptom with a quick 20-minute test. Both Marcus and Peter were very interested in the mTBI screening program when I proposed it and how it could be implemented into the PWC testing.
