• Provide wound care visits based on each patient’s clinical needs and established plan of care.
  
• Perform wound care procedures within your scope of practice, training, and clinical privileges.
  
• Develop, update, and manage wound-related treatment recommendations and orders as appropriate.
  
• Monitor wound progression and adjust treatment plans when clinically indicated.
  
• Complete accurate and thorough clinical documentation within required timelines, with an expectation of same-day charting.
  
• Communicate with patients, families/caregivers, referring agencies, physicians, and other members of the care team regarding treatment, progress, and changes in condition.
  
• Collaborate with internal Clinical Services, Care Coordination, Medical Records, and other support teams to promote continuity of care.
  
• Recognize changes in patient condition and appropriately escalate clinical concerns or recommend a higher level of care when necessary.
  
• Participate in required clinical education, training, quality initiatives, and team meetings.
  
• Maintain compliance with Company clinical standards, HIPAA requirements, and applicable federal and state regulations.
  

What We’re Looking For

• Current and unrestricted Physician Assistant license in the applicable state.
  
• Current national certification and prescribing authority, as applicable.
  
• Strong clinical assessment, critical-thinking, and decision-making skills.
  
• Excellent communication and documentation skills.
  
• Ability to independently manage patient care in a mobile environment while collaborating effectively with an interdisciplinary team.
  
• Reliable transportation and willingness to travel throughout the assigned service area.
  
• Ability to maintain all required licensing, credentialing, certifications, and continuing education requirements.
  
• Wound care experience preferred; additional wound care education and training may be provided based on experience.

Our Approach: Healing at the Core

At Dermacore, Healing at the Core is more than a phrase—it reflects how we approach patient care.

Great wound care goes beyond treating the wound. It means understanding the whole patient, recognizing changes early, communicating with the care team, and following through.

Our goal is to provide safe, effective, patient-centered wound care that supports healing, improves outcomes, and brings quality care directly to the patients who need it.
