Job Description

Skin & Wound Medicine Fellow

Nurse Practitioner / Physician Associate

  • Full-Time, M–F
  • Spokane, WA

About United Wound Healing

The Dr. Pamela Scarborough, DPT Skin & Wound Medicine Fellowship is the nation's first post-graduate fellowship dedicated exclusively to training Advanced Practice Practitioners (NPs and PAs) in wound medicine, dermatology, and limb preservation.

This full-time, paid 12-month program equips fellows with the clinical expertise, board certifications, and compassionate approach needed to lead in this vital specialty. One in four American families has a loved one living with a chronic wound.

Access to specialized wound and skin care remains limited — especially in post-acute and home-based settings. This fellowship exists to change that by building a new generation of wound care specialists prepared to serve medically complex and geriatric populations.

Upon completion, fellows will have the training and competency to obtain board certification in wound medicine (CWS).
