- A host of practical tips for your toolkit on using wound care products and managing wounds effectively in this environment.
- Skills for bringing a trauma-informed approach to wound care that facilitates communication and care planning in collaboration with your clients.
- Innovative strategies to help you and your clients attain the best achievable health outcomes and increase your peace of mind.

Requirements
Admission Requirements: Enrolment in this micro-certificate is open to all learners interested in wound care and working with clients experiencing inequities, with no formal application: students register directly for the single required course. International applicants whose native language is not English must demonstrate proficiency with a TOEFL score of 90 on the online test, or 575 paper-based, with no section below 20, or an IELTS score of 6.5 with no individual component below 6.0. No academic prerequisite or interview condition is published on the program page, and domestic applicants face no language-test requirement at all under the open-to-all-learners entry the page describes for this single-course micro-certificate.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC, which opens for 2027-entry applications on 1 October 2026: most degree programmes see September 2027 entry close 31 January 2027, January 2027 entry close 30 September 2026, and Summer 2027 entry close 31 March 2027, though Teacher Education post-degree programmes close 2 January 2027, Indigenous Education post-degree admits on an ongoing basis, and Engineering's Summer entry (high-school graduates only) closes 31 December 2026. International applicants use the same portal and face identical dates, since UVic publishes no separate international deadline. UVic treats these as fixed annual dates rather than rolling admission, though it warns any programme can close early without notice. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
