CEU Course Description

Burns are a prevalent and burdensome critical care problem. The goal of this CEU course is to present an update on the care of burn patients, with special emphasis on the mechanisms underlying burn wound healing and recent advancements in burn wound care. In addition, this course explores the beginnings of skin tissue engineering, the utilization of some of the key products developed for the treatment of severe burns, and the hope of harnessing stem cells to improve on current practice. This course is based on articles by BioMed Central Ltd.

CEU Course Objectives
