September 26, 2024, Las Vegas, NV — The Academy of Physicians in Wound Healing (APWH), the leading global professional association dedicated to enhancing patient outcomes in complex chronic wound care, proudly announces the launch of its new Prescribers Advanced Wound Management Certification Course.
