The Wound Treatment Association (WTA) Program is a Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nurses (WOCN®) Society-endorsed educational program geared toward licensed professionals. The WTA Program can help you with daily patient monitoring, pressure injury prevention and basic wound management to improve outcomes for your patients. If you are a Registered Nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse, a physical therapist, or a physician with an interest in skin care, you are eligible to take part in this comprehensive certificate program! 

Earn 32.5 Continuing Education Credits and a certificate verifying that you’ve completed the program. Physical Therapists and PTA’s earn 21 Continuing Competence Units, along with the certificate verifying program completion. 

The course is a web based, asynchronous educational program that guides the participant through the program utilizing narrated PowerPoint presentations and videos. All coursework is to be completed on your own time including the two 8-hour live competency days unless otherwise arranged with your unit manager. 

Course coordinators are available to answer any questions you might have along the way. After completing the lessons, you’ll take a timed online test and participate in a clinical skills competency test.
