Invitation 

Join us for the premier educational event of the Southern Region. 

This will be an informative and energizing learning resource for all 

burn care disciplines at any level of experience, in a casual learning 

environment. The curriculum focuses on evidence-based medicine, 

treatment modalities, rehabilitation advances, disaster planning, 

prevention education, research, outreach programs, and burn units’ 

work in progress. This will be an exciting time to collectively discuss 

and influence the direction of future burn care. 

The exhibit hall provides another valuable resource to broaden your 

knowledge beyond the classroom. Encourage colleagues to spend a 

weekend with those of us, who like yourself, have a commitment to 

excellence in burn care. 

Norfolk is home of the world’s largest naval base, has miles of sandy 

Chesapeake Bay beaches, waterfront shops and excellent museums. 

Join us in Norfolk where there is something for everyone!

GAP/NEEDS 

Burn care necessitates multiple treatment modalities, 

each with varying sequencing, for different parts of a 

burn wound depending on the burn depth. Treating 

burn and wound patients requires comprehension and 

application of critical care guidelines from the acute 

onset of injury through discharge and rehabilitation. The 

incidence of injuries requiring medical treatment was 

estimated to be 400,000 in 2010. This educational 

intervention will bring the latest research findings and 

best practices of treatment to this specialized team 

approach care system. Current policies, guidelines, 

scientific literature, and centralized communication 

among burn experts are crucial components to address 

gaps in knowledge and competence unique to burn care 

and recovery. 

Purpose AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES 

A multidisciplinary, systematic approach to burn 

care assessment, management and rehabilitation is 

essential for improving patient outcomes and enhancing 

quality of life. After participating in this peer-reviewed 

conference, attendees should be better prepared to 

implement current treatments, apply evidence-based 

practices, and execute burn prevention strategies and 

community outreach programs. After participating 

in this activity, participants should have increased 

knowledge and be more competent to: 

• Discuss advances in burn care research 

• Implement an evidence-based wound 

management program 

• Describe surgical interventions, scar and pain 

management 

• Explain infection control, nutritional support and 

rehabilitation strategies 

• Comprehend positive effects of prevention 

programs, rehabilitative camps and community 

re-integration

allowing all disciplines to present.”

james_gusler@med.unc.edu. 

Provider Course is an eight-hour course for physicians, 

nurses, paramedics, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, 

EMT intermediates and therapists. The course provides 

guidelines in the assessment and management of the burn 

patient during the first 24 hours post injury. Following a 

series of lectures, case studies are presented for group 

discussion. An opportunity to work with a simulated burn 

patient to reinforce the assessment, stabilization, and the 

American Burn Association transfer criteria to a Burn Center 

will be given. Final testing consists of a written exam and a 

practical assessment return demonstration. 

ABLS Now© will be offered in conjunction with the program 

for those wanting to take the ABLS Instructor course but 

are unable to attend the day-long session for the Provider 

Course. ABLS Now© must be completed prior to attending 

the ABLS Instructor Course on Thursday. You must complete 

the practical stations either Wednesday afternoon (with 

Provider Students) or Thursday morning as a component of 

the Instructor Course. 

Instructor Course is a six-hour course designed for those 

physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician 

assistants who have experience in daily patient management 

of burn injuries. The American Burn Association maintains 

the records that identify all persons who participated in the 

ABLS Instructor Course, as well as those given a certificate 

of completion for the ABLS Instructor Course and thus 

authorized as ABLS Instructors.

Rehabilitation Workshop: INSTANT REPLAY - Using Casts in 

Burn Rehabilitation: A Molded Model for Success 

Registration Fee: $195 (Lunch included) 


8:00 am – 5:30 pm 

Chair: Reginald L. Richard, MS, PT, Institute of Surgical Research, San Antonio, TX 

Faculty: Dana Nakamura, OTR/L, CLT, Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, Winston-Salem, 

NC; Keith Jacobson, MPT, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC; Carla Saulsbery, 

LOTR, CHT, Louisiana State University, Shreveport, LA; Michael Serghiou, OT, Shriners 

Burns Institute for Children, Galveston, TX; Jessica Sherman, PT, DPT, Sentara Norfolk 

General Hospital, Norfolk VA; Lacey Watford, MS, OTR/L, Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, 

Norfolk VA 

Learning Gap: Casting as a treatment technique in patient care is underutilized, presumably 

because educational opportunities to learn this clinical skill are limited. 

Need: The development of burn scar contracture is a pathologic condition that presents 

itself after wound closure. Scar contracture remediation is a challenge for both the 

recovering patient and burn rehabilitation personnel alike. Of the varied rehabilitation 

interventions available to treat burn scar contracture, casting of burn scars has been 

documented in the literature as to its efficaciousness. The workshop is being repeated again 

this year to provide rehabilitation clinicians who were unable to attend last year the academic 

basis in biomechanics, principles and successful implementation of cast use and application 

with the burn patient having scar contractures. 

This educational opportunity will allow participants ample time to practice the application 

of various casts and to experience the environment of wearing a cast, as each participant 

will act as both patient and care provider. Site selections for cast application are based on 

common burn scar contracture locations and information as reported in the literature. 

Target Audience: Due to the overwhelming positive feedback received from participants 

who attended last year’s session, this workshop is being offered again for those 

rehabilitation clinicians, including occupational therapists and physical therapists and 

assistants who were unable to attend the workshop last year. 

Objectives: Through a combination of evidence-based didactic lectures, hands-on work 

stations, and Q&A, learners will have the opportunity to develop new techniques for cast 

use and application. After participating in this activity, participants should have increased 

knowledge and be more competent to: 

• Explain rationale for the use of a cast to treat a burn scar contracture 

• Discuss the principles supporting use of casting as a treatment intervention 

• Describe the technique to apply an axillary cast 

• Demonstrate application of two types of finger casts 

• Demonstrate application of cast to the ankle 

• Demonstrate application of an elbow cast
