Virtual program will deliver evidence-based learning for clinicians practicing in home-based, post-acute, and community healthcare settings.
MALVERN, PA, UNITED STATES, January 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As wound care delivery increasingly shifts beyond traditional clinic walls, the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) today announced the launch of SAWC Mobile Wound Management Live, a four-part virtual education series designed to support clinicians delivering wound care in home-based, post-acute, and community settings.
Across the U.S., more wounds are being managed in homes, long-term care facilities, and other nontraditional environments than ever before, driven by an aging population, rising chronic disease burden, expanded home-based care models, and patient expectations to receive care where they live.
Together, these forces are redefining the geography of wound care. While clinics and wound centers remain essential, they are no longer the primary setting for many patients receiving advanced wound management.
“As wound care delivery evolves, education must evolve with it,” said Amanda Estapa, APRN, CWS, FACCWS, DAPWCA, Planning Committee Member and Faculty Presenter. “Mobile wound management is one of the fastest-growing areas in our field. This series provides practical, evidence-based guidance for clinicians delivering high-quality care across diverse environments.”
A Four-Part Series Reflecting Real-World Practice
SAWC Mobile Wound Management Live consists of four live virtual sessions in 2026, each addressing a critical dimension of mobile wound care:
• January 31, 2026
Healing in Action: Reclaiming the Mission of Mobile Wound Management
A two-part program examining ethical, evidence-based mobile wound care, clinical credibility, accountability, and patient-centered practice in nontraditional settings.
• May 15, 2026
Every Step Counts: Overcoming Barriers to Healing Diabetic Foot Ulcers in Mobile Practice
Focused on holistic approaches to DFU care in mobile settings, including advanced therapies, nutrition, adherence, and functional outcomes.
• June 10, 2026

Dressing Decisions on the Go: Selecting the Right Products for Mobile Wound Care

Addressing an Educational Gap
While mobile wound care has expanded rapidly, educational resources designed specifically for these settings have lagged behind. Clinicians routinely navigate sterility, product access, documentation, and coordination challenges across multiple environments—often without formal training tailored to these realities.
The series features nationally recognized faculty actively shaping mobile wound care practice, including:
– Shaun Carpenter, MD, CWSP; CEO, MedCentris Wound Healing Institute
– Beatriz Coccaro-Word, DPN, APRN, ANP-BC, CWS; CEO – Wound Healing Nurse Practitioner, On Call Wound Care, LLC

– Catherine Milne, MSN, APRN, CWOCN-AP, WOCNF; Advanced Practice WOC Nurse, Connecticut Clinical Nursing Association
– Shawn Naqvi, MD; CEO/CMO, Personic Health
– Loren Nunley, MD, MBA; Partner and Chief Infection Prevention Officer, Personic Health
– Pamela Scarborough, PT, DPT, CWS; Director of Clinical Education & Post Graduate NP/PA Fellowship Program, United Wound Healing
– Todd Shaffett, DNP, FNP, CWS, FACCWS, DAPWCA; President, MedCentris
Building a New Educational Platform
SAWC Mobile Wound Management Live marks the first phase of a broader, multi-year commitment to advancing mobile-focused wound care education across WoundCon (the world’s largest virtual wound care conference), SAWC Spring, and SAWC Fall.
“This series marks the first step in a broader commitment,” said Tiffney Oliver, VP, Wound Care, HMP Global. “As wound care increasingly moves into homes and communities, SAWC is focused on supporting mobile wound care clinicians with education that reflects real-world practice and meets the evolving demands of care delivery.”
Mobile wound management education will be reinforced at the SAWC Spring | WHS meeting, April 8-12 in Charlotte, North Carolina, and via a dedicated learning track at SAWC Fall, October 15-18 in Las Vegas.
