The American Board of Wound Management (ABWM) Deploys Certemy as Their Online Software Platform for Professional Certification Management

LOS ANGELES, CA—May 7, 2021—Certemy, a leading provider of certification management software for professional certification boards, is pleased to announce that the American Board of Wound Management (ABWM) has partnered with Certemy to process initial certifications and recertifications for over 4,000 healthcare professionals. The ABWM Board expects the partnership to streamline the application and recertification process, making applying for and maintaining ABWM certification easier than ever before.

“We wanted to upgrade an outdated system that no longer met our requirements,” said Christopher Murphy, Executive Director of ABWM. “Certemy’s modern, cloud-based certification and recertification software system has helped us significantly reduce processing times and provides the flexibility we needed to change program requirements in minutes without IT help or change orders. Certemy has helped us become an innovator and sets us up well for the future.”
