2024 Advances in Wound Management Workshop

2024 Advances in Wound Management Workshop

Originally hosted June 12, 2024

With the increase in Hyperbaric (HBO2) chamber management organizations and hospitals that have identified a professional practice gap due to the lack of experienced/competent clinicians to employ as staff, many physicians, nurses and allied health professionals have limited knowledge regarding HBO2 medicine, including the equipment and processes related to diagnosis and treatment, especially associated with the UHMS Indications. There is also a practice gap with lack of referrals between specialties to support hyperbaric medicine and wound care treatment that is backed by evidence-based research.

CME For MOC Program Guide Designation Statements for ABMS Boards

Required instructions to learners on how to obtain CME for MOC

CME For MOC points are earned through completing a comprehensive evaluation component that assesses individual learner competence, performance, and/or the impact on patient outcomes. Some boards require evaluation feedback that will include a summary of what was discussed and the best next steps for the learner. The evaluation feedback will be provided to you upon submitting the evaluation form.

As an accredited ACCME provider, the UHMS is now responsible to submit physician learner CME credits into the ACCME PARS system. However, it is the physician’s responsibility to submit the necessary information required to match with the ACCME PARS system. It is also the physicians responsibility to check with their respective board(s) to see that the credits were applied accordingly.
