Greetings!
This month finds us in the midst of many long-awaited projects. The remaining videotaped lectures from the International Conference on Biotherapy 2010 are finally posted on the BTER Foundation website.
The Maggot Therapy Core Curriculum and Certification program is moving forwards with the help of a dedicated committee of experts in wound care and maggot therapy. Soon we will propose the core knowledge and capabilities that competent maggot therapists should strive to achieve.
We received several applications for membership on the Board of Directors. After vetting by the current Board, we will be holding elections. If you are a BTER Foundation member, be sure to respond to your voting notification in the coming weeks.
One final note: don't forget to check out the Biotherapy Blog on WoundSource's website (www.WoundSource.com/blog). Be sure to visit the website, weigh-in, or just leave a comment to tell us how we're doing.
