The ACHM is a professional society dedicated to appropriate utilization, standards of care, education, training, certification, and recognition of hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a distinct medical specialty. The American College of Hyperbaric Medicine was founded in 1983 in support of clinicians practicing hyperbaric medicine who recognized the importance of therapeutic oxygen in clinical applications, especially wound management.

APWH, the Academy of Physicians in Wound Healing, is the very first physician-oriented organization in wound care that has been created to meet the needs of the physician in three subject areas: clinical and operations-focused education, compensation advocacy, and legislative action on healthcare issues. While nurses have had the benefit of nursing-specific organizations to address the needs of the nursing profession, it is our belief that physicians have been at a disadvantage in this regard. APWH is open to all prescribing physicians (MD, DO and DPM), physician assistants (PA) and nurse practitioners (NP).
