The Essentials - A Comprehensive Review Course on Wound Care Management and Intervention is a great refresher for ALL providers in wound care and is an intense pragmatic review for certification preparation.
The 16 hour course covers the principles of wound care management and the effects from systemic conditions that impact on care. It discusses the basics and the current methods of treatment through a multimember faculty, all with years of experience and noted for their communication skills and ability to teach.
There is ample time for questions to be answered and a full set of hard copy notes for all lectures.
The course hours are designed to impact as little as possible on regular practice hours as most attendees can arrive at the Airport hotel Friday evening and be home Sunday evening.
