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).

Skilled Wound Care is a physician group that treats wounds where the patients already are: at the bedside, in skilled nursing and long-term care facilities across the country. Our physicians round consistently at the same facilities, perform bedside procedures, manage pressure injuries, and work as partners with the nursing teams who know those patients best.
Founded in 2007, we now serve facilities nationwide. The model exists because the alternative, moving a patient out to a clinic for a wound that needs weekly attention, too often means the wound never gets treated at all.
For facilities: consistent physician rounding, fewer avoidable hospital transfers, stronger quality metrics, and real support for your nursing staff.
For physicians: hands-on medicine, no clinic, no overnight call, no quotas, and a life outside of work. We are hiring nationwide, including those who have Not Finished Residency. We also have our mentorship program for physicians who are new to wound care.
