Wound Care: Identification, Assessment, and Treatment

Effective and efficient management of individuals with wounds requires a multifaceted and multidisciplinary approach. Determining the best course of treatment for patients with various wound presentation may become frustrating due to the primary pathologies and contributing medical complexities (aka co-morbidities) that are present in this patient population.

The goal of this three-hour interactive course is to provide the healthcare clinician a guide for appropriate identification, assessment, and treatment of common and less common wound types. During this course you will acquire assessment skills and workable treatment principles that will immediately improve your clinical practice, no matter the setting. There willalso be a hands-on lab for learning key concepts for selective sharp debridement and multi-layer compression wrapping. By the completion of the course, you will be able to provide a compressive treatment plan to accelerate each patient'srecovery for wound management and wound closure.
