If you missed our virtual Wild on Wounds Conference (WOW) 2020 and the much-loved WOW BUZZ Report – there’s always next year.

In the meantime, we spoke with Nancy Morgan, RN, BSN, MBA, WOC, DWC, OMS, co-founder of the Wound Care Education Institute (WCEI) and WOW.

She shared six of the many game-changing wound care products featured in this year’s Buzz Report that came out this past year. 

In case you’re not familiar with the BUZZ Report, it’s always discussed during the first session each day of every WOW conference. It provides you with an easy way to stay current on the latest wound care trends and best practices.

The world has drastically changed with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

One alteration to our daily lives is the practice of avoiding crowds in an effort to slow down the spread and decrease risk of exposure to coronavirus.

So, for everyone’s health and well-being, we’ve moved our popular Wild on Wounds Conference (WOW) to a virtual format this year.

The wildly popular Buzz Report is one of the main attractions of our annual Wild On Wounds (WOW) conference.

Wound care clinicians from across the U.S. look forward to attending our Buzz Report session each year to learn the latest about wound care news, research and products that came out.

The Buzz Report is the brainchild of Donna Sardina, MHA, RN, WCC, CWCMS, DWC, OMS, co-founder of WCEI and the WOW conference.

Sardina said she created the first Buzz Report in 2004 as an overview for clinicians, in response to WCEI student requests on how to stay current on the latest developments in the world of wound care news.

As a wound care clinician you have a passion for your work. It’s this passion that drives you to learn about the latest evidence-based findings on the most effective treatments and products you can use on your patients.

At the Wound Care Education Institute (WCEI), we offer two strategies to help you achieve clinical excellence in wound care by attending our Wild on Wounds (WOW) national wound conference and taking our wound care classes.

Wild on Wounds (WOW) is an annual conference created for clinicians who practice skin and wound management.

This year’s event is Sept. 11-14 at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel. The curriculum at WOW is designed in a format that’s relevant for all types of clinicians involved in skin and wound management, said Nancy Morgan, MBA, BSN, RN, WOC, WCC, DWC, OMS, co-founder and clinical consultant with WCEI.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re a physical therapist, a nurse, an occupational therapist or a physician, our WOW conference, as well as our WCEI courses, support all types of clinicians at different levels of learning,” Morgan said.
