title: Three components of education in burn care: surgical education, inter-professional education, and mentorship.
abstract: Education in burn care can be divided into three main components: surgical education, inter-professional education, e.g. critical care education and mentorship. To date these components have been used in varying degrees in most health institutions and to even lesser extent in burn care. The aim of this paper is to highlight each component and how these have been utilized in other fields to develop teams and foster education, and how they can be translated for burn teams. These ideas are not novel; however, this paper aims to shed light on how these concepts can be implemented in burn care, thus not only improving education, but also enabling recruitment and retention of health care providers in this field.
