MDR 806: Wound Healing

The student will have the opportunity to participate in the management of a multitude of difficult-to- heal 
wounds including common wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous ulcers, pressure ulcers), as well as 
atypical wounds such as wounds due to connective tissue disease and pyoderma gangrenosum. Students will 
interview patients and identify critical pathways that will lead to the diagnosis, etiology, pathophysiology and 
treatment of these difficult-to-heal wounds. Students will learn to care for these wounds by designing treatment 
plans as part of a multidisciplinary team.
