Agenda

Location: 530 First Avenue
(Between 31st and 32nd street)
Alumni Hall Farkas Auditorium NYU School of Medicine

Format: National and international experts will speak about the latest innovations and standards of care in wound healing. The remaining time will be used to answer questions from the audience, allowing attendees to fully interact with the entire faculty. This highly interactive program will educate participants on the PRACTICAL standards of care so they can apply this education to wound patients in their own clinical settings.

Lectures: Faculty will formally present on a variety of essential wound healing topics.

Question & Answer Sessions: Formal lecture presentations are brief so that time is allocated to answering questions after each session. The entire panel of lectures will be present on stage from 8 am to 5 pm. Faculty members will be called upon to answer questions in their specific area of expertise.

Case Presentations by Faculty: At the conclusion of the formal lectures a variety of challenging wound cases will be presented and discussed in detail.

Hands on Workshop: At the conclusion of the formal lectures, there will be an opportunity for hands on learning of the application, Negative Pressure wound therapy, topical dressings, collagen and cell based therapies, growth factors and surgical debridement

Meet the faculty and participate in hands on workshop after the didactic portion of the day is done. 10 rooms with faculty and schedule and different topics post conference.
