ForwardThe Healing Edge Wound Care Symposium
The Wound Care Symposium is dedicated to equipping bedside caregivers with the essential knowledge and practical skills needed to effectively assess, monitor, and treat wounds across diverse patient populations. Wounds can occur in any care setting, and timely, evidence-based education is critical to achieving optimal patient outcomes.
Led by an esteemed faculty of experienced clinicians, this dynamic program will explore the latest advances in wound and ostomy care, with topics including negative pressure wound therapy, venous stasis and lymphedema management, best practices in ostomy patient care, and recognizing and addressing skin failure.
Designed for physicians, advanced practice providers, and nurses, the symposium offers content relevant to multiple clinical environments—from acute care to outpatient and home health. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies and an enhanced understanding of evidence-based interventions to improve the quality of wound care and patient recovery.

- Discuss best practices for comprehensive wound assessment and establish accurate differential diagnoses to guide effective treatment plans.
