Description:
Proper evaluation and management of wounds is critical to ensuring positive patient outcomes. This case-based course is designed to increase the participant's scope-of-practice in managing common wounds including simple lacerations, abrasions, avulsions, bites, and puncture wounds as they present in the outpatient setting. Improve patient care and your value to your practice with essential procedural skills by exploring common, but potentially problematic, cases from presentation to follow up including aseptic technique, proper use of skin adhesives, basic suturing, and alternate wound closure techniques. Suture Kit and model included.
Learning Objectives:
Upon the completion of this hands-on workshop, participants should be able to:
- Properly assess acute traumatic wounds to determine appropriate management, referral, and follow-up.
- Choose appropriate wound management materials and equipment.
- Determine appropriate suture techniques according to wound and patient characteristics.
- Assess and repair simple lacerations using aseptic technique and a variety of closure methods.
- Demonstrate a variety of essential percutaneous suture techniques.
- Demonstrate proper intradermal suture technique.
- Demonstrate alternate methods of acute wound management for wounds that cannot or should not be sutured.
- Explain proper antibiotic indications, tetanus prophylaxis, rabies prophylaxis and instruct the patient in appropriate post-procedural care.

Description:
Many “complex” traumatic lacerations are referred to specialists either unnecessarily or prematurely - or simply repaired improperly. This case-based course is designed to increase the participant’s scope-of-practice in managing complicated lacerations. By exploring common, but frequently problematic, cases from injury and management to post-repair follow-up, participants will learn specialized repair techniques that will improve patient outcomes. This advanced wound management course is designed for participants who are already competent in basic laceration repair techniques and seek to elevate their skill set to the next level. Suture Kit and model included.
Learning Objectives:
Upon the completion of this hands-on workshop, participants should be able to:
- Properly apply general and loose closure techniques.
- Demonstrate multilayer cosmetic wound closure techniques.
- Apply methods of proper anatomic boarder alignment.
- Demonstrate appropriate wound excision and debridement techniques.
- Demonstrate management and repair of single and multiple flap lacerations.
- Demonstrate management and repair complex parallel lacerations.
- Manage a variety of fingertip injuries including nail bed lacerations.
- Identify and prevent complications associated with complex nasal lacerations.
- Identify and prevent complications associated with complex ear lacerations.
- Review dog-ear deformity repair.

Description:
Urgent Care and ED Providers encounter orthopedic injuries daily. This fun and interactive course is designed for attendees that work in an ED and Urgent Care setting to assist them in identifying, assessing, and treating common fractures and dislocations. The course will include didactic presentations reviewing fractures and dislocations of both the upper and lower extremities. Because orthopedic reduction of dislocations requires timely intervention, specific attention will be given to dislocation techniques and management. There will be small, hands-on “breakout” group sessions where participants will have the opportunity to practice these newly learned maneuvers on each other to obtain a “hands on” feel under the guidance of workshop facilitators. Loose fitting clothing is recommended.
Learning Objectives:
Upon the completion of this hands-on workshop, participants should be able to:
- Identify and assess common fractures and further determine which injuries require immediate/urgent orthopedic referral (vs. routine outpatient care).
- Recognize common occult fractures and dislocations that can easily evade identification.
- Demonstrate multiple "hands on" reduction techniques for common dislocations involving the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, ankle and mandible.
