Wound Treatment Associate (WTA) Program

The WOCN Society is closely monitoring developments related to the respiratory illness commonly referred to as the coronavirus (COVID-19) and the guidance from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The health, safety and well-being of the community is our highest priority.

COVID-19 may impact your facility's delivery of the WTA Program. Each facility administering the program should evaluate their circumstances to determine whether or not to cancel in-person portions of the programs and whether to grant extensions to participants. Each course coordinator should comply with their facility's policies.

Please contact WTA@wocn.org with any specific questions you have.

The WOCN Society developed the Wound Treatment Associate (WTA®) Program as a continuing education program to further empower the wound, ostomy and continence (WOC) specialty nurses, and improve patient outcomes by strengthening the wound care team with a flexible education program that is applicable to all health care settings. The WTA Program prepares a non-WOC certified nurse to provide optimal care for patients with acute and chronic wounds under the direction of a WOC specialty nurse, WOC advanced practice registered nurse (APRN), or physician.

The WTA Program is not a certification program. It is a continuing education activity that offers 32.25 contact hours to nurses and 21.0 CCUs to physical therapists upon completion. WTA graduates are also eligible for the WTA-C certification.
