About AAWC & Benefits

The Association for the Advancement of Wound Care was conceived in 1995 to spread awareness about advanced, evidence based wound care by promoting excellence in wound education, clinical practice, public policy, and wound research. Although the Association for the Advancement of Wound Care is based in the United States, we are a global not for profit community. Members include clinicians, facilities, industry, students, retirees, wound patients and their lay caregivers. AAWC welcomes people like you to join us in making a difference in this specialized wound healthcare field. Please Join today!.
