About The Position

General Surgeon Jobs in San Jose, CA : Same Surgical Skills, a Better Way to Practice
You trained for years to become a General Surgeon. But across the country, surgeon shortages mean longer hours, heavier call and less time for life outside medicine. Top-tier General 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 General Surgeons in San Jose, CA to work as wound care physicians and lead wound care initiatives in skilled nursing facilities across the area.
Maybe you’re a General Surgeon ready to step away from endless call rotations, OR block-time battles and productivity targets at large health systems. Maybe you want clinical autonomy outside the high-pressure hospital environment. Either way, this no-call General Surgeon job offers a high-impact surgical career without the corporate red tape.

Keep Your Surgical Skills: Surgical debridement and bedside procedures stay part of your daily practice.
A Sustainable Surgical Career: Bedside procedures are far less physically demanding than long OR cases, so the strain on your back, neck and shoulders goes down and you can keep practicing for years to come.
