In 2008, eight scholarships will be offered for AWMA members to attend an upcoming Health Education and Management Innovations (HEMI) Advanced Wound Care Course.  Further information about the HEMI course is available here

Scholarships will be awarded to one successful AWMA member from each Australian state and territory.

Each scholarship includes registration costs for the intensive three-day course, all accommodation, travel and meal requirements. Funding of the scholarship has been provided by PAUL HARTMANN. The scholarship is valid for either the 2008 or 2009 course.
