Wound Care Education Institution Benefitting Wound Care Industry

By Elena Merchand

Wound Care Education Institution (WCEI) was founded by two nurses, Nancy Morgan and Donna Sardina, who strongly believed it was necessary to meet the market need for wound care education.

The ladies, with their years of professional practice as RNs, identified the scarcity of qualified clinicians, and

more fundamentally, the lack of education programs for training of these clinicians. WCEI was created with the

intention of filling this gap and making wound care education accessible to everyone.

WCEI offers a selection of comprehensive nationwide onsite and online courses in the diverse fields of Skin, Wound, Diabetic and Ostomy Management with an option for eligible health care professionals to sit for

prestigious certifications offered by the National Alliance of Wound Care and Ostomy (NAWCO).

This is United State’s largest multidisciplinary group of certified wound care professionals and through it,

WCEI offers certifications such as Wound Care Certification (WCC), Diabetic Wound Care (DWC) and

Ostomy Management Specialist (OMS) for those qualified.

The founders initially used their vast experience to start a wound care consulting company which led to

structured wound care education classes, which now stands as the WCEI of today – changing the lives of

many.

With the unique combination of Nancy Morgan’s teaching style and entrepreneurial talent and Donna Sardina’s extensive research and exemplary teaching

material on wound care, the dynamic duo revolutionized the education of wound care

nationwide, providing world-class wound care training from the best and diverse array of wound care

instructors.

The main agenda of WCEI is to make knowledge accessible for qualified individuals who wish to make the experience of wound care beneficial, interesting,

comfortable and even fun for their patients while delivering the highest quality of service and care.

Wound Care Education Institute prides itself for its collaboration with organizations dedicated to the

advancement of wound care practices.

Their partners, the respectable Norton School of Lymphatic Therapy being the latest addition to the

esteemed list, work to share knowledge and resources, offer information on products to customers, engage

alumni and host events to spread the word.

The curriculum was designed with an evidence-based approach to skin and wound care, holding clinicians legally defensible. The curriculum is taught by in a

highly interactive method by qualified, dynamic professionals.

Even though only licensed health care providers (MD, DO, DPM, PA, PTA, PT, OT, NP/APN, RN, LPN/LVN) may sit for the certifications administered by NAWCO,

the courses can be taken by anyone.
