Established in 1995, the American Board of Wound Management (ABWM) is dedicated
to the multidisciplinary team approach in promoting the science of prevention, care
and treatment of acute and chronic wounds. The primary function is to establish
and monitor a national certification process, recognize competency, promote education/research,
and evaluate the standard of care across the continuum of wound management.
Currently the ABWM has certified approximately 3,700 individuals nationwide with
their three wound management designations.
