"Find A Specialist": Participate in the ABWM's New Online Wound Provider Directory!

As part of our website redesign, the ABWM is rebuilding our "Find a Specialist" directory, which allows both wound patients and other wound care providers to seek out ABWM certified specialists in their local area. If you would like the opportunity to have your name and contact information listed in our online directory, please fill out the survey at the link below. The data collected will be used to populate the “Find a Specialist” feature on the ABWM website. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone. Please note that the work address you provide for the online directory will not replace the contact/billing details associated with your ABWM account. Please log-in to your account at www.abwmcertified.org or contact us at info@abwmcertified.org if you wish to update the address associated with your account.

WoundCon 2020: ABWM Attends Virtual Exhibit

The ABWM participated in its first ever virtual conference - WoundCon Summer 2020 - on July 17th 2020. Conference attendees visited our virtual booth (pictured above) where they could read lots of helpful information about ABWM certification, download our CW CA ®  , CWS ®  and CWSP ®  handbooks and applications, and chat with ABWM team members using the "Live Chat" feature. The ABWM's virtual exhibition was a great success with approximately 500 booth visits, 600 content views, and over 100 handbook and application downloads. WoundCon attendees also had access to lots of great wound care related content at many virtual sessions throughout the day. WoundCon will be running their next virtual conference in November 2020.
