GETTING STARTED WITH THE WTA PROGRAM
YOUR WTA PROGRAM OPTIONS
There are various ways to get started with the WTA Program. Depending what your role in the WOC care community is, you can enroll in the program, facilitate the program, or add the program to your facility’s current education curriculum.
WTA FOR NON-CERTIFIED WOC NURSES
If you’re a wound care provider, or a licensed healthcare professional seeking additional knowledge in wound care, the WTA Program is for you. If you currently work in a hospital, healthcare system, or home health facility, contact your WOC nurse and ask him/her to become a WOCN-approved WTA Course Coordinator to offer this Program in your healthcare setting.
