Education for the generalist

The AAWC website has a portal that provides wound care-accredited education for new wound care practitioners and nonwound care specialists (or generalists). Based on a wound care pathway, the educational links are free and evidence-based. What’s more, AAWC members now have access to a PAD presentation – the first in a series of educational PowerPoint templates to be used for lectures or in-services.
