Exploring healthcare system paradigms and wound care practices in France.
The opportunity to travel to WHRI and Paris, France as a Wound Care Ambassador has truly been an honor affording me not only the opportunity to share and gain knowledge into differing healthcare systems and wound care practices, but also to develop collegial relationships with others similarly committed to making a difference in the lives of those affected by cutaneous wounds. I truly hope I will be given the opportunity to reciprocate this honor by having our colleagues from abroad visit the United States so that I might share my clinical world and the U.S. perspective. Sincere appreciation is extended to ConvaTec and Health Management Publications, Inc. for this opportunity; to the WHRI staff; my ConvaTec hosts in Paris; and to Nathalie Faucher, MD, Christine Paillet, MD, Colette Lambert, MD, Joel Belmin, PhD, and the staffs at the Sainte-Périne, Kremlin-Centre Hospitalier De Bicêtre, Emile Roux, and Hôpital René Muret.
