SAWC continues to set the standard for a truly comprehensive and collaborative national wound care meeting. If you only attend one meeting per year, this is the one to attend.
Symposium on Advanced Wound Care
SAWC Spring & Fall: A Legacy of Education, Innovation, and Collaboration in Wound Care
Two premier wound care conferences bring together the field’s leading clinicians, researchers, educators, and industry partners for evidence-based education, multidisciplinary collaboration, and practice-changing insights
For decades, the Symposium on Advance Wound Care has set the standard for evidence-based wound care education, offering clinically rigorous programming designed to meet the evolving needs of physicians, nurses, podiatrists, advanced practice providers, therapists, and multidisciplinary care teams.
Across both Spring and Fall meetings, attendees experience peer-reviewed, evidence-based education across the full wound care continuum, informed by multidisciplinary perspectives from global thought leaders and frontline clinicians. The programs highlight innovative research, emerging technologies, and clinical approaches shaping the future of wound care, all within collaborative learning environments designed to encourage connection, dialogue, and practical application.
While each meeting offers a distinct focus and regional experience, both SAWC Spring and SAWC Fall share a common mission: to advance wound care practice, improve patient outcomes, and support clinicians wherever care is delivered.
