   Our user asked: "I am a  PT rehab manager for a homecare agency in Virginia.  I am wondering about the best type of  wound care certification for P.T's in the homecare setting. "

Ask a PT Response: "I would recommend getting certified through the American Academy of Wound Management http://www.aawm.org/index.html which is accredited. There are many other programs out there that claim to offer certification but are not accredited because they don't meet specific and stringent requirements."
