Description
Join a Premier National Physician Group Expanding in Wilmington, Delaware
Delaware may be the "Small Wonder," but it offers an outsized quality of life- low cost of living, no sales tax, and a location that puts Philadelphia 30 minutes away and NYC, DC, and Baltimore all within a 1-2 hour drive. But even in the First State, 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 New Castle County and the greater Wilmington area.
Whether you're looking to step outside the academic bureaucracy and resident-teaching demands of the region's large teaching hospital system, or you're a physician seeking clinical autonomy outside the high-pressure hospital environment, we offer a high-impact path without the corporate red tape.
The Wilmington Physician Advantage
In a region where "on-call" can mean missing a weekend trip down Route 1 to Rehoboth Beach, 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 summer weekend at the Delaware beaches or a quick day trip into Philly.
- Clinical Autonomy: Direct patient outcomes based on your expertise- not a hospital committee, an academic department hierarchy, or resident-supervision obligations.
- Smarter Documentation: Our custom software is designed to slash admin time, so you're not stuck in an EMR portal when you could be heading home at a reasonable hour.
Meaningful Clinical Work
Utilize the latest advancements in wound healing to change lives in local Delaware 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 Delaware 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 operates a nationwide mobile surgical practice serving nursing facilities, and this Wilmington-based position offers physicians the chance to specialize in wound, skin, and ostomy care without the typical hospital grind. You would perform bedside procedures in long-term care settings, working with patients who need advanced wound management. The role comes with genuine scheduling control—you choose your own hours within a 2–5 day work week, with no nights, weekends, holidays, or on-call duties. The company provides comprehensive training in advanced wound care and surgical techniques, even for physicians without residency completion or board certification.
This is structured as independent contractor, fee-for-service work, with earning potential over $250,000 annually plus performance bonuses tied to patient outcomes and healing. You'll attend two fully covered weekend educational retreats per year with CME credits, receive malpractice coverage, and have flexibility to select which facilities you work with across the country. The job satisfaction rating exceeds 90%, and the stated philosophy prioritizes work-life balance over administrative burden.
The ideal candidate is genuinely passionate about hands-on procedural work and patient care—not someone seeking status or authority. You need only an active medical license to start. If you're burned out by the traditional 60-hour hospital week or feel stalled in your current specialty, and you want meaningful work with real schedule autonomy, this role is worth exploring.
