These “Wound Care 101” courses cover the basics of wound care pertaining to skin and the healing process, surgical dressings and debridement, and therapeutic support surfaces.
Consisting of the audio and visual slides from 2019 Heartland Conference presentations given by VGM’s Heather Trumm and Ronda Buhrmester, members can purchase all three courses as a bundle for $100 or purchase the individual courses for $49.99 each.

"These courses are so important to the industry because the DME/HME industries have a huge impact on wound care and skin health, and the more they know about it, the more they can help their patients," said director of VGM Wound Care, Heather Trumm, BSN, RN, CWON. “Patient-focused care is a major theme among the DME/HME community, and it is what our VGM Members do every day.
