Job Description

Join a Premier National Physician Group Expanding in the Greater Pittsburgh Metro

Pittsburgh is a world-class center for medical innovation, but your career shouldn't feel like a constant battle between competing hospital giants. Skilled Wound Care is seeking motivated physicians to lead wound care initiatives within Skilled Nursing Facilities throughout Allegheny County and the surrounding Western PA region.

Whether you are looking to step away from the rigid "system" culture of the major local networks or a surgeon seeking a predictable schedule without the burden of hospital call, we offer a high-impact path designed for a better quality of life.

The Pittsburgh Physician Advantage

In a region where "healthcare" is the biggest employer, we offer a way to practice that feels personal again:

The "Black & Gold" Lifestyle: No nights, no weekends, and zero "on-call" responsibilities. This is a true M-F opportunity that ensures you’re home for the first pitch at PNC Park or the kickoff at Acrisure Stadium.

Clinical Sovereignty: Avoid the "system" fatigue. In a city dominated by two major players, we offer a third path. You lead the clinical direction based on your expertise, not a corporate mandate or academic hierarchy.

Efficient Documentation: Our custom software is designed to be fast and intuitive, ensuring you aren't finishing charts in an EMR until 9:00 PM.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Average Annual Earnings: $220,000 – $250,000 (No earning cap as an Independent Contractor).
  • High Achievers: Top performers earn $300,000+ via performance bonuses.

Western PA Prosperity: A transparent per-patient and per-procedure pay structure + quarterly bonus programs—providing a high-end income with a Pittsburgh cost of living.

Expert Training: We bridge the gap between your current specialty and wound care with 36 hours of company-provided CME, workshops, and specialized training.

Meaningful Clinical Work

  • Utilize the latest advancements in wound healing to change lives in our local Western Pennsylvania communities:
  • Surgical Debridement and other bedside procedures.
  • Advanced Dressings and specialized wound protocols.
  • Collaborative Care within the post-acute setting.

Requirements

  • Medical Degree: MD or DO from an accredited institution.
  • Clear/Unrestricted Pennsylvania Medical License: (Or eligibility to obtain one).
  • DEA License (or eligibility to obtain one)

Open Background: We welcome Surgeons of all backgrounds, Family Medicine, and Internal Medicine physicians. No previous wound care experience is required; we provide comprehensive specialty training.
