Education is a never-ending process of acquiring knowledge and skills and developing powers of reason and judgment. In an independent wound clinic, educational responsibilities are handled in-house. The following discussion offers insights into the way one independent wound clinic, the Archbold Center for Wound Management, Thomasville, Ga, addresses staff educational and training needs.
Background. Our wound care program consists of an outpatient clinic where patients are seen both for MD appointments as well as regularly scheduled wound care.We also consult on acute care patients with complex wounds and provide any advanced wound care required during the hospitalization. Additionally, we oversee the wound management practices and round on complex cases at our four affiliate hospitals and four nursing homes.
