We’re so excited to announce our Skin, Wound, and Ostomy Course dates for 2019!
The Skin Wound Ostomy Certification (S.W.O.C.) is an exciting and fun educational program with certification exam, specifically designed for all clinical and non-clinical nurses. This three-day course (ending in a certification exam) focuses on everyday clinical wound care issues, with the goal of giving nurses a broader and greater understanding of skin, wound, and ostomy issues, which occur in patients with chronic conditions. It’s a fantastic learning opportunity for any nurses working at hospitals, wound clinics, skilled nursing facilities, hospices, and home health agencies.
In 2019, we’ll be teaching our live course in these cities on these dates:

Skilled Wound Care is a mobile surgical practice committed to transforming the chronic wound care model in nursing facilities. Wound care experts make weekly bedside visits to patients in long-term care facilities, avoiding transfers to hospitals or clinics. Our expert physicians give patients the most up-to-date and effective wound treatments, and educate facility staff on how to help patients continue to heal quickly and effectively between visits. This model of collaborative care allows SWC’s physicians to improve patients’ lives and health outcomes, to empower nursing staff, and to raise public awareness. Skilled Wound Care, along with its nurse and nursing home partners, is working every day to positively transform traditional nursing home wound care.
