Do you consider yourself educated? Most of us have multiple degrees from various schools, colleges, universities, and postgraduate institutions. As healthcare professionals we have an obligation to keep up to date to provide the best evidence-based care for our patients with wounds.

Each method has its benefits and shortcomings. The most important aspect is that we must continue to learn.
