SAWC Spring 2025 is accepting abstract submissions through January 3, 2025.

The Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) is committed to providing the highest level of clinical education and information for physicians, nurses, physical therapists, researchers, podiatrists, and dietitians involved in wound healing or wound care issues.

To be accepted to present an oral or poster abstract during the upcoming SAWC meeting, each proposed presentation must be described in an abstract. These abstracts are blind-reviewed by a panel of expert judges. Each abstract will be reviewed based on specific criteria for the category in which it is placed. Therefore, it is very important for the author to specify which category the abstract should be entered.

Abstract Presentations

You may select one of the three (3) presentation types for consideration:

• Poster Presentation
• Oral (Podium) Presentation
• Poster Presentation if not selected for Oral (Podium) Presentation

Additionally, you may also select to be considered for RAPID FIRE: Poster Talks or the Young Investigators Award.

Intent to Present

Upon acceptance notification, SAWC will require proof of registration for all accepted abstract presenters (poster and oral/podium).

The badge number can be found on your registration confirmation. Instructions on this process will be included in your acceptance email. Even though you may be registered for SAWC, intent to present must still be submitted.
