Thank you for tuning in to this week’s episode of Trauma Talk with the UNC Trauma Center, where we’re accompanied by AOTA Older Driver Initiative Project Coordinator Elin Schold-Davis to discuss older adult driving safety awareness in celebration of Older Driver Safety Awareness Week. Elin provides tons of history, tips and resources on how we can reframe the stigma surrounding older drivers and how to make sure everyone is fit to drive safely.
