Description
Join a Premier National Physician Group Expanding in the Charlotte Metro
Charlotte is the heartbeat of the Carolinas—a city defined by growth, ambition, and a high quality of life. But even in the "Queen City," top-tier physicians shouldn't have to sacrifice their lifestyle for their careers. Skilled Wound Care is seeking motivated physicians to lead wound care initiatives within Skilled Nursing Facilities throughout the Charlotte Metro, including Mecklenburg, Gaston, and Union counties.
Whether you are looking to escape the rigid bureaucracy of the "Big Two" regional systems or a physician seeking clinical autonomy outside the high-pressure hospital environment, we offer a high-impact path without the corporate red tape.
The Charlotte Physician Advantage
In a region where "on-call" often means missing a Panthers kickoff or a weekend at Lake Norman, we offer a refreshing alternative:
- The "No-Call" Lifestyle: No nights, no weekends, and absolutely no pagers. This is a true M-F opportunity that lets you actually enjoy a Saturday at the USNWC or a quick weekend getaway to the High Country.
- Clinical Autonomy: Direct patient outcomes based on your expertise—not a hospital board’s sub-committee or a complex corporate hierarchy.
- Smarter Documentation: Our custom software is designed to slash admin time, ensuring you aren't stuck in an EMR portal while the rest of the city is at a brewery in South End.
Meaningful Clinical Work
Utilize the latest advancements in wound healing to change lives in local North Carolina communities:
- Surgical Debridement and other bedside procedures.
- Advanced Dressings and specialized wound protocols.
- Collaborative Care within the post-acute setting.
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.
- Pay Structure: Per-patient and per-procedure pay + quarterly bonus programs.
- Expert Training: We bridge the gap between your current specialty and wound care with 36 hours of company-provided CME, workshops, and specialized training throughout the year
Requirements
- Medical Degree: MD or DO from an accredited institution.
- Unrestricted/Clear North Carolina 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.

About this role
Skilled Wound Care is building a physician-led wound care program across skilled nursing facilities in the Charlotte metro area and is actively recruiting physicians to direct clinical initiatives in this growing market. The role centers on hands-on wound management—surgical debridement, advanced dressing protocols, and collaborative post-acute care—with the autonomy to drive patient outcomes based on your clinical judgment rather than corporate hierarchy. You'll work Monday through Friday with no on-call obligations, nights, or weekends, a genuine lifestyle advantage in a region where work-life balance often gets sacrificed.
The position is structured as an independent contractor role with base compensation of $220,000 to $250,000, plus performance bonuses that can push top earners above $300,000. Pay is tied to patient volume and procedures. If wound care is new to your background, the company provides 36 hours of specialized CME and training to bring you up to speed; they actively recruit from surgery, family medicine, and internal medicine without requiring prior wound care experience. You'll need an MD or DO from an accredited school, an unrestricted North Carolina medical license (or eligibility to obtain one), and a DEA license or eligibility.
This role appeals to physicians seeking clinical autonomy and a predictable schedule outside traditional hospital systems, particularly those willing to develop expertise in a specialized post-acute care setting. If the prospect of meaningful procedural work, a defined work week, and independence from bureaucratic oversight aligns with your priorities, it's worth exploring further.
