A medical career in burn care requires special skills as well as an exceptional degree of caring. The Burn Foundation in partnership with the Mid-Atlantic Nurse Advisory Council offers training programs in burn care to student nurses and medical students throughout the tri-state area. More than 24 nursing schools participate in the Foundation’s sponsored nursing seminars and to date more than 17, 000 student nurses have attended the program. Offered at colleges across the region the seminars are offered multiple times each year and are taught by fully accredited burn care nurses from the four regional burn centers.

The Anapol Schwartz Family Mentorship Program
Recovery from a burn injury continues long after leaving the hospital burn center. Some people are uncomfortable with their looks and avoid going out in public. Some become isolated and feel cut off from their support systems. The Anapol Schwartz Family Mentorship Program matches recent burn survivors and family members with more experienced survivor peers. Drawing on their own experiences, specially trained volunteers provide information and support to burn survivors and family members just going through the process. Please contact us for more information or you may download an application or descriptive brochure.
