Biography

Gerard Gioia, PhD, a pediatric neuropsychologist, is the Division Chief of Neuropsychology at Children’s National Medical Center. He is also the Director of the Safe Concussion Outcome, Recovery & Education (SCORE) Program. He is an associate professor of Pediatrics and Psychiatry at the George Washington University School of Medicine.

Dr. Gioia is internationally known for his work in concussion recognition, response, and management, and has collaborated with healthcare professionals around the world to develop best practices in caring for young athletes, whose developing brains are particularly vulnerable to injury and repeat injury if they do not recuperate fully. He collaborated with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in developing materials for parents, coaches, school officials, and healthcare providers to support them in caring for young athletes. This work has been adapted to smart phone and tablet applications that put these proven tools into the hands of parents and coaches on the field of practice or play.

Dr. Gioia is also involved in advocating for state-by-state awareness legislation that requires young athletes and their parents to confirm that they understand the seriousness of this injury and that the young athlete will be cleared by a healthcare professional before returning to practice or play, if he or she is injured.

In addition to his work in raising awareness about concussions and treating patients who have been injured, he collaborates with colleagues in researching the neuropsychological outcomes of children with brain tumors, epilepsy, and neurofibromatosis through the Children’s Research Institute.
