Burn traumas are a type of trauma that causes adverse changes in all the functions of the organism. Multi-disciplinary approaches are of great importance in the treatment of burn traumas. Among those involved in the treatment of burns are people of many branches such as surgeons, infection specialists, rehabilitation specialists, psychiatrists, and nurses. And there is a need for a single specialist in charge to coordinate the disciplines in the stage of organizing to treatment. The person to take on this task is often a surgeon specialized in burns. Research has shown that auxiliary personnel involved in burn treatment in Turkey are in need of training on up-to-date information. The surgeon in charge should actively participate in research and training activities, and train the relevant personnel through knowledge transfer so that burn treatment could remain effective in the light of current developments, which would be the fundamental way for burn centers to take their technique- and skill-based practices further.
