The optimal treatment for wounds continues to be an enigma for clinicians.

Join our expert presenters as they investigate the facts and uncover the myths surrounding the nutrition recommendations for wound healing.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the phases of wound healing and develop a treatment plan.
  • Identify measures to prevent skin breakdown.
  • Identify the role of specific macro- and micronutrients in wound healing.
  • Examine evidence-based guidelines for nutrient provision to promote wound healing.
  • Determine recommendations for supplementation of nutrients to promote wound healing.

Presenters:

  • M. Patricia (Trisha) Fuhrman, MS, RD, LD, FADA, Consultant and Clinical Dietitian, St. Louis, MO
  • Evelyn Phillips, MS, RD, Clinical Nutrition Manager and Researcher, Magee Rehabilitation Hospital, Philadelphia, PA
