CONT

An enterostomal therapy nurse (ETN) is a registered nurse with advanced and specialized knowledge and clinical skills in wound, ostomy and continence care. Recognized as nursing specialists in wound, ostomy and continence by the Canadian Nurses Association (C.N.A.), ET nurses are the only nursing specialty with C.N.A. certification in wound, ostomy and continence care.

OBS

Before using the title enterostomal therapy (ET) nurse in Canada, a nurse must be a graduate of an accredited ETNEP [Enterostomal Therapy Nurse Education Program] offering theory and practice in wound, ostomy and continence management. ... The CAET [Canadian Association for Enterostomal Therapy] program can be completed in approximately 12 months and consists of four separate required courses: Ostomy Management, Continence Management, Wound Management and Professional Practice.

OBS

Strictly speaking "enterostomal" and "stomal" are not synonyms. However, they are used as such in this case because most ostomies made are enterostomies.
