2025 Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine Conference

This in-person only learning activity is designed for physicians, APPs, nurses, and other allied health professionals seeking foundational knowledge and practical insights into advanced wound care. The curriculum will benefit a diverse group, including primary care and specialty staff (e.g., outpatient, ICU, med-surg) as well as newly onboarded staff, bedside nurses, and regional healthcare partners.

Readily applicable clinical pearls and tips for what can be done at critical access hospitals will be presented along with a deeper understanding of conditions. This activity is not intended for seasoned wound care specialists who already possess a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.

1. Assess a wound on initial presentation.
2. Identify factors related to wound non-healing.
3. Utilize increased knowledge of advance wound care modalities.
