Next, a quick update on our live courses and trainings. 

Wound Care Education Partners is implementing a "COVID-19 Contingency Plan" to move forward with hyperbaric medicine and wound care trainings. 

Instruction is the same as a face-to-face training, with the goal of reducing human-to-human physical contact and reducing travel as per government instructions. 

This contingency plan and unique training opportunity offered only for a limited time during this pandemic.
