I was thrilled to present at the American Geriatrics Society Annual Meeting with an amazing group of wound care superstars. Our theme was Wound Care Updates: Reclaiming a Lost Geriatric Syndrome and the moderator was Sarwat Jabeen MD, Attending physician at Michael DeBakey VA medical center, Houston. The following topics were presented:
Integrating a wound care curriculum to enhance Geriatric Fellowship Training – Foy White Chu, MD
Palliative treatment for chronic wounds – Jeff Levine, MD
Disparities in healthcare regarding wound care for the elderly population – Veronica Nwagwu, MD
The interprofessional team, the patient, and their circle of care – Barbara Delmore, PhD, RN, CWCN, MAPWCA, llWCC-NYU, FAAN
Wound care is an important topic not taught in most medical schools, and it was great to collaborate with these leaders in the field.
