• Reliable transportation and willingness to travel throughout the assigned service area.
• Ability to maintain all required licensing, credentialing, certifications, and continuing education requirements.
• Wound care experience preferred; additional wound care education and training may be provided based on experience.

Schedule & Travel

This is a per diem position with flexible scheduling based on provider availability, patient census, geographic coverage, and operational needs.

Patient volume and assignments may vary, and a minimum number of patient visits or hours is not guaranteed. Local travel to patient homes and/or facilities within the assigned service area is required. Travel of up to approximately 55 miles may be required depending on patient location and geographic coverage.

Our Approach: Healing at the Core

At Dermacore, Healing at the Core is more than a phrase—it reflects how we approach patient care.

Great wound care goes beyond treating the wound. It means understanding the whole patient, recognizing changes early, communicating with the care team, and following through.

Our goal is to provide safe, effective, patient-centered wound care that supports healing, improves outcomes, and brings quality care directly to the patients who need it.
