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.

good post, thanks again!

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.

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.
