My good friend Frank Aviles, PT is one of the most creative and innovative people I have ever known. He is the Wound Care Service Line Director at Natchitoches Regional Medical Center in Louisiana, serves on the editorial board for Today’s Wound Clinic and is a well known lecturer in the field of wound management. Frank discovered that Physical Therapy students were unable to complete their clinical rotations due to COVID-19 restrictions. To help meet this need, Frank created Virtual Wound Rounds (VWR) with the support of HMP Communications. The response has been nothing short of astounding. I participated in one of the events, and it was a wonderful learning experience for me as a faculty member. You will note that the list of participants is a “who’s who” in the field of wound care. It seems that no one can say “no” to Frank!
As the clinical editor of Today’s Wound Clinic (an HMP publication), I appreciate HMP’s support of this project. Peter Norris and Jeremy Bowden from HMP Global volunteered their time and resources to help record the events. VWR is one of the “COVID-19 silver linings.”
