Physical Therapy and the CWS®

“My
CWS® enhances my practice and range
of influence. It demonstrates my specialty
in wound care to providers outside traditional
physical therapy circles. The CWS® is the gold standard of wound care certifications.”
Stanley K. McCallon, DPT, CWS, FACCWS |

is enhanced by a strong knowledge of wound
care, and the CWS® board certification
establishes you as an expert in wound
care management. The CWS® credential
shows youêve completed a long-term, intensive
study and practice in wound care.
- Physical therapists are on
the front lines of wound management in
many healthcare settings, and treat patients
during the most critical stages of wound
care. Equipped with expert knowledge,
Certified Wound Specialists® can
make the healing process less problematic.
- By achieving the CWS® board certification, physical therapists
become part of an interdisciplinary network
of healthcare professionals, all dedicated
to delivering, improving and advancing
the practice of wound care.
