An Innovation in Wound Education
Are you ready to turn knowledge into action, build a community of practice, collaborate with interprofessional colleagues, and lead practice change?
Then the regulated health-care provider stream of the Wound Care Champion Program is for you!
The goal of the regulated health-care providers stream of the Wound Care Champion Program (WCCP) is to empower front-line health-care clinicians with the knowledge and skills necessary to identify persons at risk for wounds and to implement appropriate preventative and treatment measures, using a systematic, interprofessional, person-centred approach.
This self-paced, multi-faceted program (that takes an average of 80 hours to complete) will produce health-care clinicians proficient in wound prevention and care who are prepared to lead change in the health community.
