Join us for the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care Fall (SAWC Fall) meeting. This 3-day event serves as a forum to connect the entire wound care team—physicians, nurses, physical therapists, researchers, scientists, podiatrists, and dietitians—with the foremost experts in wound care to improve patient outcomes through education. No other wound care event offers the level of education, ad-vanced state-of-the-art clinical reviews, and emerging research findings.

What sets SAWC Fall in Las Vegas apart is the bonus 1-day vascular track focused on the prevention, early detection, treatment, and rehabilitation of peripheral arterial disease, developed in partnership with the AMPutation Prevention Symposium (AMP). If you want to stay in the loop and be part of this quickly developing wound care field, don’t let anything hold you back from educating yourself on the most forward-thinking wound care techniques to improve wound care outcomes.
