Resource Lymphedema, LLC dba INTERNATIONAL LYMPHEDEMA & WOUND CARE TRAINING INSTITUTE (ILWTI) WELCOME!
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, ILWTI immediately took some very aggressive and bold steps to ensure your health and welfare. We felt that continuing live courses in a group setting would unnecessarily risk your safety and wellness, and the communities you serve. Early in 2020, we transitioned all courses to a new, interactive remote learning model, called Teletraining.
In April & May 2020, our new course format was beta tested successfully in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at Nova Southeastern University with Dr. Heather Hettrick. We then launched our first test cohort of students for the full Certified Lymphedema & Wound Therapist course in June 2020. Delivering rigorous and high quality education is our top priority academically. We quickly re-developed the curriculum to take full advantage of the new technologies to provide highly interactive and hands on lab work and implemented over a dozen strict quality control measures to ensure the highest standard of delivery model and competency testing.
This class has been so successful, we have now added many new courses and REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR 2021! The Certified Lymphedema & Wound Therapist certification course, and all other ILWTI courses, are now offered completely remotely, start to finish. You do not need to leave the comfort and safety of your home or office.

Teletraining Testimonials
The ILWTI Teletraining course was so interactive and involved, I felt like I was in the classroom. The extended time frame for the tele-training course allowed me to really absorb and integrate the information. I feel confident now that I have the knowledge & critical skills to assess and treat wounds & edema with current best practices. I definitely recommend this course for anyone looking to add lymphedema & woundcare to their practice (like myself) or to bring skills & knowledge up to date.
— Katherine Bukanc, PT
I was very hesitant when I initially decided to take on this journey via Teletraining. However, with the current pandemic, it was my best bet. This is my first certification done via Teletraining and it was worth it. The past 3 months have been a real eye-opener. The skills I have learnt are top-notch. I look forward to practicing my new skills and providing these services to my patients.
— Tarah Silvera, PT
This teletraining course totally exceeded all my expectations. ILWTI provided a comprehensive course on Lymphedema and Compression with current research, best practice and product review. The case studies and presentations assisted me in understanding the information within the course. I feel confident with the skills I have learnt to be able to provide quality care to my patients. I absolutely enjoyed the classes and it has certainly expanded my knowledge base. Thanks ILWTI

This course has provided me with the knowledge and tools to be successful as I return to my facility to provide treatment to my residents who suffer from lymphedema. The instructors are an amazing source of knowledge in the field and have so much to offer during the class and beyond. I am so happy I took this course in this format so that I had more time to really soak in all the information and be ready to put it into practice upon completion.
