2026 Workshop - Outpatient Wound Repair Techniques

Laceration repair is one of the most common procedures performed in urgent care, primary care, emergency medicine, and other ambulatory settings, yet many clinicians report limited opportunities to develop and maintain procedural confidence. This interactive workshop is designed to provide practical, evidence-based training in the evaluation, repair, and management of common wounds encountered in everyday clinical practice.

Participants will learn how to assess wounds, select the most appropriate closure method, and avoid common pitfalls that can affect healing, cosmetic outcomes, and patient satisfaction. Topics include wound assessment, closure selection, suture materials, simple and advanced suturing techniques, staples, tissue adhesives, adhesive strips, nailbed injuries, wound aftercare, and complication prevention.

Through live demonstration and dedicated hands-on practice, participants will refine their procedural skills while receiving individualized instruction and real-world clinical pearls from experienced clinicians and educators.

Whether you are a student seeking foundational skills or an experienced clinician looking to enhance procedural confidence, this workshop will provide practical techniques that can be immediately applied in clinical practice.
