Acute Care Surgeon

Skilled Wound Care • Oakland, CA

3d • Onsite

About The Position

You trained for years to become an Acute Care Surgeon. But across the country, trauma and emergency surgery coverage gaps mean longer hours, heavier call and less time for life outside medicine. Top-tier Acute Care Surgeons shouldn’t have to give up their health, families and weekends for their careers. Skilled Wound Care, a premier national physician group, is hiring Acute Care Surgeons in Oakland, CA to work as wound care physicians and lead wound care initiatives in skilled nursing facilities across the area. Maybe you’re an Acute Care Surgeon ready to step away from 24-hour trauma shifts, relentless emergency general surgery call and productivity targets at large health systems. Maybe you want clinical autonomy outside the high-pressure hospital environment. Either way, this no-call Acute Care Surgeon job offers a high-impact surgical career without the corporate red tape.
