2008 -
World Union of
Wound Healing Societies, Toronto Canada, All of our members have an opportunity to attend what could
be a once in a lifetime opportunity. The World Congress meets every four years
and travels to different locations throughout the world. It is doubtful that
the next WUWHS will be held in North America and may very well be located in the
Far East when it resumes in 2012. Therefore, we encourage all members to take
advantage that the fact the “local” Toronto location is a short flight or for
some a short drive. The WUWHS 2008 Congress is expected to draw approximately
5,000 registrants from all corners of the globe. APWCA is a hosting society and
with that has been charged with organizing the Diabetic Foot Stream … so please
plan to attend and meet with your other APWCA colleagues. The scientific
program, social agenda, registration and hotel information can all be found by
clicking to a link that is found on the APWCA homepage website. The
association encourages all members to attend; we hope to see you in Toronto in
June. Register today for Congress 2008 at
www.worldunion2008.com
The preceding is a list of conferences that have APWCA participation: (**)
denotes APWCA Wound Care Symposium to be held within the Conference or Seminar,
(*) denotes APWCA members as faculty; (-) denotes no direct APWCA involvement,
but attended by APWCA members who are leaders in wound care. (APWCA CME pending)
denotes that a portion of the program meets APWCA criteria for credit hours of
education which members can apply toward their APWCA CME requirement. The number
of credit hours have not been determined. Active APWCA credentialed members must
attain a specified minimum of contact hours to maintain their credentialing.
APWCA requires Fellows,
Diplomates and Associate members to attain a minimum of 21 hours of medical
education every three years in wound care in an APWCA Conference or a seminar by
another organization approved by the APWCA Scientific Committee.
Members-in-Industry and Professional Members do not have to meet a continuing
