      ab: Aim: This study's objective was to evaluate the outcome of homogenous learning environment in wound healing. Method: This is a two-day longitudinal cross-sectional study. Standard and consistent themes in wound healing were presented in a traditional manner to a wide group of diverse and heterogeneous healthcare professionals. There were 31 physicians, 23 nurses, and 11 medical assistants in the group. Later, based on their particular professions, these groups were subdivided homogeneously and provided with hands-on teaching in small groups. The topics addressed in the hands-on training were tailored to the practitioner's level of competency. All participants were requested to complete a questionnaire at the conclusion of the event, and the collected data were analysed using Microsoft Excel. Results / Discussion: The questionnaire analysis revealed that 88% of physicians, 92% of nurses, and 87% of medical assistants favored homogeneous learning. An open-ended questionnaire provides opinions such as it enhances the learning process and boosts the confidence of healthcare practitioners. Conclusion: Current wound healing education is heterogeneous, which encourages cooperation and teamwork since students must collaborate to achieve group goals. However, learners at different educational levels may have varying learning styles, making heterogeneous learning a problem. Consequently, a homogeneous learning environment may be more effective, as the instructor may tailor training to the specific content. This research shown that a homogeneous group can enhance learning empowerment and wound healing comprehension.
