Grand Rounds: Advances and Innovation in Burn Care: From Research to Advocacy

07-10-2026

By Jeffery Shupp, MD , Pediatric General Surgery, Burn Surgery, Children's National, Washington, DC

Objectives (Educational Content) :

1. Describe innovative changes in burn treatment. 

2. Distinguish burn injury as a chronic condition.

3. Summarize the continuum of burn care.

Target Audience:

General pediatricians, family physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, social workers, psychologists, and nurses.

Identified Gap:

Many clinicians involved in burn care continue to emphasize acute treatment strategies and may not be fully aware of recent innovations, the recognition of burn injury as a chronic condition, or best practices across the full continuum of care. This gap leads to inconsistent application of evidence-based advances, under addressed long-term physical and psychosocial needs, and fragmented coordination from initial treatment through rehabilitation and reintegration, ultimately contributing to suboptimal patient outcomes and quality of life.
