In a recent survey, hospitals stated that opening a wound and hyperbaric center was number two on their list of hospital services that they were interested in developing.

This day and a half course will address the issues associated with opening a new center.  In addition, the program will address techniques to increase the efficiency and profitability of established centers.  

The target audience is Hospital Administrators, Wound Center Managers, Physicians and Nurses involved in the operation of the Wound Care Center.
