Valuable contact information is included, such as facility name, director/contact person, address, phone, fax, email, website, and type of clinic/center.

AAWC Scholarship Program continues through August 31

Time is running out to complete the AAWC Scholarship application. Funds are available for wound care teaching, learning, and travel. Members in good standing for 1 year can apply by visiting www.aawconline.org/scholarships. Consideration will be given to support events that may have already been paid for (such as a college course), as well as events that will occur in the near future.
