This is correct. If you are going to get a certification, AAWM is really the only way to go. I actually know of someone who got a certification through another organization, and he had a lot of trouble finding employment. If you are not AAWM certified, most reputable practices will not even consider you.

Exactly, the AAWM is the agency that certifies you as a CWS...]]> Sun, 24 Jan 2010 21:46:51 +0000 http://www.cyberpt.com/ptforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=549&PID=648&title=wound-care-and-physical-therapy-homecare#648 http://www.cyberpt.com/ptforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=549&PID=644&title=wound-care-and-physical-therapy-homecare#644 Author: Ask a PT

CWS is the gold standard and the only one that matters.  The academic and experience requirements should say enough about it.

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. ]]> Mon, 18 Jan 2010 22:54:34 +0000 http://www.cyberpt.com/ptforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=549&PID=638&title=wound-care-and-physical-therapy-homecare#638
