Education empowers our providers
to deliver exceptional wound care services
Education gives us a knowledge of the world around us and changes it into something better. It helps us build opinions and have points of view. For WoundCentrics, education empowers our providers to deliver exceptional wound care services to patients in all aspects of the healthcare continuum of care. In August we welcomed our new Director of Clinical Education, Chelsea Kelley, MSN, APRN, FNP-C. Chelsea graduated with her Master of Science in Nursing in 2012 from the University of Texas at Austin and completed her post-MSN Family Nurse Practitioner program in May 2020 from the University of Texas at Tyler.
Chelsea shares, “I had the opportunity to intern at the Christus Santa Rosa Wound Care and Hyperbaric Center, which is managed by WoundCentrics, a few years ago while pursuing a wound care certification program at Emory University. At the time, I was a Clinical Resource Specialist in the wound care and medical device industry. After rounding on patients in the hospital and seeing patients in the clinic, I witnessed the healing of complicated wounds through a truly holistic, patient-centered approach led by WoundCentrics providers. It’s exciting and rewarding!” When asked what she enjoys outside the workplace, Chelsea tell us, “I love being outdoors and anything adventure related. I recently took up sailing. I love guiding wilderness trips and introducing outdoor experiences to others. My daughter is always asking about our ‘next big adventure’. I’m looking forward to taking her on medical missions abroad when she’s older.”
Chelsea joined the WoundCentrics team at our New Braunfels corporate office on August 3, 2020, and immediately began building relationships with our healthcare providers, nurses, clinical staff, and administrative teams. Chelsea, a highly driven clinical specialist, and nurse practitioner will share her knowledge of developing and delivering clinical education and training for both our new and experienced medical professionals at WoundCentrics. Chelsea relays, “My goal is to implement a comprehensive learning experience that is engaging, experiential, vital to providers, and reflective of current, best practice guidelines.” We look forward to Chelsea excelling at utilizing her high-level of clinical expertise across multiple areas to support our comprehensive wound care education programs.
