curriculum vitae.
3. Provide personal statement, which
details 3 years of wound care
experience and direct patient care (if applicable).
4. Provide copies of professional licenses
and board certifications.
5. Include three letters of reference sealed in original envelopes. Letters should
discuss wound care knowledge, skills,
and expertise, and must document
the required years of experience.
6. Read the AAWM code of ethics, and
sign the statement on the application
form, affirming adherence to this code.
7. Complete the checklist form by initialing
next to each application item.
All application
materials must arrive at the AAWM together
in the same envelope by the application
deadline. Packets that arrive with
materials missing will be returned, thus
delaying the application. Fedex and USPS
certified mail is recommended. It is the
soul responsibility of the candidate to
ensure that all application materials arrive
by the deadline.
Note: Effective April 10, 2010, AAWM no longer requires transcripts from the highest level of education obtained for the CWS™ and CWCA® Exams!
