Join us for this month’s STN Webinar Series! This webinar series is a free STN Member benefit organized by the Clinical Committee. This month’s webinar is presented by the STN Burn Special Interest Group.
Webinar Description
Recovery from a burn injury continues well beyond wound healing and hospital discharge. Using a case study, this webinar follows a burn-injured patient’s path from acute recovery of burn injury through rehabilitation and into long-term survivorship. The webinar explores the physical, psychological, and social challenges that can emerge across the continuum of care of a burn injured patient.
