This year, Medline is investing in educating clinicians specializing in wound care outside of acute-care settings.
Through a series of free-to-attend webinars, Medline experts will give presentations on skin-related topics ranging from pressure injury staging to incontinence care and moisture management, factors that affect wound healing, and identifying risk factors.
“Educational opportunities in non-acute healthcare — particularly for clinicians working in nursing homes, long-term care facilities and home settings — typically aren’t as robust as what’s offered in hospitals,” Medline said in a Jan. 19 announcement. “Throughout 2026, Medline is giving these important caregivers more skin in the game.”
Medline’s non-acute care clinical nursing team will present the Skin Health Education Summit — one webinar per month, grouped into four modules of three webinars each: Core Learnings, Prevention, Intervention, and Treatment. Each webinar starts at 1 p.m. Eastern time and lasts three hours.
Medline has also reimagined its webinars and said attending clinicians “should find this new format fresher, more focused and more fun.”
“We’ve really revamped what these webinars are, incorporating new knowledge and practices from across the health care industry, plus some newer technologies we haven’t really touched on in the past, while also just making the experience more engaging,” said Kaila Martin, manager for customer success, non-acute sales division. “There are more activities, more case studies, less of our clinicians speaking and more pulling from the audience, asking them about their own experiences and how they’re doing things.”
And these webinar series were designed specifically for clinicians supporting patients in non-acute care settings. “Education in non-acute care can be very limited,” Martin noted. “In many cases, skills fairs are the extent of what’s available. At many non-acute facilities, wound care ends up falling to a single clinician — the most tenured person with the most experience. With these modules, we’re using our products and solutions to try to help build the knowledge base for everyone else.”
The first webinar is Wednesday, Jan. 28.
