Advanced Wound Therapeutics Symposium - Beyond the Bandage

Join us for a day of education, networking and fun as you gain knowledge of topics that are all about wound care.

About this Event

Our symposium is an annual continuing education event to help close knowledge gaps in the world of wound care, as well as connecting providers with vendors and products that can enhance their clinical process and improve patient outcomes. This year's theme, "Beyond the Bandage," aiming to close knowledge gaps in wound care education by addressing factors surrounding wound care that critically impact outcomes, such as nutrition, patient noncompliance, home care, liability, and more. 

A continental breakfast, plated lunch and snacks will be provided - as well as opportunities for learning, networking, and winning fun door prizes! Please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions so we may try to accomodate you.
