Skilled Wound Care • Los Angeles, CA

About The Position

Skilled Wound Care, a premier national physician group, is hiring Trauma Surgeons in Los Angeles, CA to work as wound care physicians and lead wound care initiatives in skilled nursing facilities across the area. This no-call Trauma Surgeon job offers a high-impact career without the corporate red tape. This is a refreshing alternative to a specialty where your pager can go off at any hour for a level-one activation, offering a true Monday–Friday surgeon job, so your evenings and weekends belong to you and your family. Your trauma training makes you a natural fit for wound care, and surgical debridement and bedside procedures stay part of your daily practice. This role offers a healthier pace with predictable days that replace the adrenaline, sleep deprivation and emotional weight of the trauma bay. You will follow patients through healing and build lasting relationships, instead of handing them off once they’re stable. You will have clinical autonomy to direct patient outcomes based on your surgical expertise, not a hospital committee or department hierarchy. Our custom software is designed to slash admin time, so you’re not stuck charting at midnight when you could be home at a reasonable hour.
