Job description

Wound Care Physician – No Call, Zero Overhead

Are you tired of hospital politics, crushing administrative overhead, and shrinking clinical autonomy? Being a physician in Texas right now comes with unique pressures. Between navigating vague legal landscapes, battling insurance companies, and working with short‑staffed teams, it’s easy to feel disconnected from why you entered medicine in the first place.

At Skilled Wound Care

At Skilled Wound Care, we offer a different path. We are a leading national wound care physician group seeking motivated MDs and DOs who want to step off the hospital treadmill, leave the legal and administrative burnout behind, and get back to practicing pure medicine.

Independent Practice as a Mobile Wound Care Physician

As a mobile wound care physician and independent contractor, you will provide critical, hands‑on care to a vulnerable geriatric population in nursing facilities. You make the clinical decisions. You manage your outcomes. We handle the rest.

Why Transition to Skilled Wound Care?

• True Autonomy as an Independent Contractor: As a 1099 provider, you are truly your own boss. Enjoy the ultimate freedom, flexibility, and tax advantages of independent practice without the crippling overhead of running a traditional brick-and-mortar clinic.
• Practice Pure Medicine, Free from Politics: Leave the legal ambiguity and hospital micromanagement behind. Your only focus is healing the patient in front of you, utilizing the latest advancements in wound healing.
• Zero Overhead & Uncapped Earning Potential: Escape the financial strain of private practice. We handle the facility contracts and billing. Full‑time physicians earn an average starting pay of $220,000 - $250,000 annually, with the potential to earn up to $300,000+ through additional services, performance‑based bonuses, and no earning cap.
• Reclaim Your Time (No Call, No Weekends): Stop sacrificing your personal life. There are no nights, no on‑call emergencies, and no weekend rounds.
• Say Goodbye to Data‑Entry Burnout: We utilize a custom software system specifically designed to drastically reduce physician administrative and documentation time, so you can spend your time treating patients, not screens.

Compensation & Comprehensive Support

• Pay Structure: Per-patient visit pay, per-procedure pay.
• Bonus Program: Quarterly bonus program with the potential to earn up to 30% extra income.
• Company‑Provided Training: Comprehensive wound care training provided, including biannual CME conferences.

Requirements

• Medical degree (MD or DO) from an accredited institution.
• Active, clear, and unrestricted Texas medical license.
• Active and unrestricted DEA license.
• Note: You do not need to have completed a full residency program and do not need to be Board Certified/Eligible to thrive in this role.
