EACE Knowledge Management

The Knowledge Management team at EACE creates and hosts various educational activities. These include the Federal Advanced Skills Training, the Limb Trauma Educational Series, and eLearning modules for continuing education. These programs target clinicians who work with amputation or limb trauma care. The DHA J-7 Continuing Education Program Office offers continuing education credits for many of these activities.

Limb Trauma Educational Series

What is LTES?

In April 2022, Amputation Care Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes became the Limb Trauma Educational Series. As we pivot to offer more clinically relevant education on limb trauma, the name of the monthly series needed to change to encompass all aspects of the material covered.

The LTES is an educational platform for information-sharing from experts to the multi-disciplinary team that treats patients with an extremity trauma. Monthly sessions are aimed to bring new material, case studies, and best practices into the clinical setting in order to provide exceptional care to the limb trauma and limb loss population. The LTES strives to improve outcomes by reducing variations in processes of care and sharing of best practices and expertise.
