John A. Boswick Award and Lectureship: Applying Systems Theory to Wound Healing

The annual John Boswick Award is given for global, selfless leadership in improving the scientific understanding or care of persons with wounds, lifelong achievement, and dedication in the field of wound care. A wound’s impact extends far beyond the patient, creating a “wound web” that complicates healing across families, clinicians, and systems. This session explores some of the universal challenges of wound care and uses systems theory to reimagine pathways toward transformative, lasting change.
