A career in burn care requires specialized skills as well as an exceptional degree of caring.  The Burn Foundation's 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.
