Amanda Estapa

A wound care clinician of nearly seven years, published contributor to Wound Source, research presenter, lecturer, and exam committee member and ambassador for the American Board of Wound Management, Liz bridges the gap between evidence-based practice and real-world wound care delivery — and she has been known to make wound care genuinely entertaining, which is arguably her most impressive clinical achievement. Liz has an extreme passion and love for wound care education, research, evidence based practice, and understanding the "why" as well as the "who" behind each wound she treats. She hopes to never stop learning from others, and loves the opportunity to speak to peers.
