There is a lot of information on the web regarding wound care education. But, only a few that are done on the scale of these four websites. If you are new to wound care or just looking to add a few pearls of information give these websites a try. Some of these sites provide CEUs and others don’t. As always, please let me know if there are any other major wound education sites that I have missed.

To this effect, ‘The Learning Zone’ presents the theory of wound management moving from basic principles of physiology to advanced wound care and applications and current research in the management of patients with wounds. In addition to this the interactive patient studies enable you to assess, diagnose and treat patients based on their medical history and the results of the clinical tests.
