About The Position

Skilled Wound Care, a premier national physician group, is hiring General Surgeons in Washington, D.C. to work as wound care physicians and lead wound care initiatives in skilled nursing facilities across the area. This role offers a high-impact surgical career without the corporate red tape, providing clinical autonomy outside the high-pressure hospital environment. It is a no-call General Surgeon job that allows surgeons to step away from endless call rotations, OR block-time battles, and productivity targets at large health systems. The position offers a refreshing alternative to a specialty where being on call can mean missed dinners, cancelled vacations, and 2 a.m. emergency cases. It provides a sustainable surgical career as bedside procedures are less physically demanding than long OR cases, and utilizes custom software designed to slash admin time.
