Burn Educational Topics
Introducing Four New Educational Programs From The International Society for Burn Injuries (ISBI)
The Nursing Committee of the International Society for Burn Injuries (ISBI), in the spirit of the goal of the ISBI to share information and expertise in the care and treatment of
burn injuries, began discussions in 2002 related to the need to develop educational and training programs for professionals caring for burn patients which could be easily accessed
around the world. The intent of this educational material is to provide basic information on burn care and associated topics and not to provide specific advice for individual programs
or patients. Following initial discussion, it was decided that the best way to provide this information would be to post the individual topics on the Education page of this web site.
The Committee then discussed a number of topics which could be addressed and decided on an initial four including: Burn Care in the Hospital, Care of Outpatient Burns, Pain
Management, and Infection Control. Authors for these topics were selected from the committee along with additional individuals selected for their expertise in certain topic areas.
Initial drafts were reviewed by the Nursing Committee members and final drafts were reviewed by the President, Dr. Naoki Aikawa and the other members of the ISBI Executive Committee.
We hope that you find these topics useful and would encourage any feedback on them. Comments can be sent to Joan Weber, Chair of the Nursing Committee of the ISBI
(jweber@partners.org). In addition, we would welcome any suggestions for other topics for development to add to these initial four.
