  • Assess skin and wounds in the field or at home
  • Recognize pressure, diabetic, and lower leg wounds
  • Spot infection and know when to escalate

Common Questions

What is a micro-credential?

A micro-credential is a short, focused program in one area of practice. It shows you have the knowledge and skills in that area, and you earn a digital certificate and a shareable badge when you finish. It is not a board certification. If you plan to sit for a national wound care certification exam later, it’s a strong first step.

Is this course a fit for MIH-CP programs?

Yes. It is built for paramedics who see patients at home, including Mobile Integrated Health and Community Paramedicine (MIH-CP) programs. You learn to assess wounds, spot problems early, and know when to escalate to the patient’s care team.

Do I need wound care experience?

No. This foundational wound care course starts with skin and wound basics, so you can begin with no wound care background.

Can my agency train a whole team?

Yes. Contact us to discuss team training or building a wound care service line.
