You chose Trauma Surgery to be there in the moments that matter most. But years of 24-hour in-house call, overnight activations, gunshot wounds and multi-system injuries take a real toll on your sleep, your health and your family. Across the country, trauma and acute care surgeons face some of the highest burnout rates in medicine. Unpredictable hours, the emotional weight of the work and the strain of surgical critical care add up. Skilled Wound Care, a premier national physician group, is hiring Trauma Surgeons in Fort Worth, TX to work as wound care physicians and lead wound care initiatives in skilled nursing facilities across the area.
