Nurse Practitioner - Wound Care Consultant (Part Time)

What Makes This Role Unique

Few roles offer the chance to bring real clinical impact to a population that rarely receives it. As a Telehealth Nurse Practitioner with Esperta Health, you'll deliver expert wound care to incarcerated patients in jails and prisons, settings where quality healthcare is often hard to come by. Working remotely within a collaborative, physician-led model, you'll guide assessment and treatment planning for complex chronic wounds, directing care that can meaningfully change an inmate's quality of life and recovery. Your clinical judgment and expertise drive outcomes for patients who need it most. If you've been looking for a role where clinical excellence meets genuine purpose, this is it.

Assist with development of clinical protocols, educational content, and customer training initiatives.
