APWH: Certification (Academy of Physicians in Wound Healing)
Overview of Certification Track
Physicians who are certified by the COUNCIL for MEDICAL
EDUCATION and TESTING (CMET) join APWH as Fellows-Certified in wound care
(FAPWHc). The CMET exam is offered multiple times throughout the year and in
multiple locations throughout the United States and this year will be offered
overseas.
As with the APWH, CMET
is the only other physician-specific organization in wound care and serves as a
certifying agency.
“The CMET
examination changes the dynamics of this field and advances wound care to a new
level. It brings us one step closer to the goal of specialty recognition. The
next challenge will be the
initiation of
residencies and fellowships, which are commensurate
with the evolution of knowledge and practice. This examination is available to
all prescribing physicians, (MD, DO, DPM).”
— Robert Bartlett, MD, FAPWCA, CMET President and
Examination Chair
