It calls for clinicians who are highly accountable, detail-oriented, and responsive, and who are willing to obtain and maintain multiple state licenses as the company continues to expand. Key Responsibilities Review patient consultations and provide evidence-based wound care recommendations through our proprietary consultation platform. Assess complex wounds and identify barriers to healing, infection risks, vascular concerns, and opportunities for escalation of care. Develop practical treatment recommendations utilizing approved formularies and available resources within correctional settings, including guidance on advanced wound management, infection prevention, offloading, vascular evaluation, and appropriate use of wound care products. Collaborate with facility physicians, advanced practice providers, and nursing teams to optimize patient outcomes. Participate in quality assurance initiatives, clinical outcome reviews, and continuous improvement efforts. Assist with development of clinical protocols, educational content, and customer training initiatives. Maintain timely, accurate, and compliant documentation. Participate in rotating after-hours and holiday coverage schedules, and travel occasionally for company meetings, educational events, and customer engagement activities. Ideal Candidate Profile A wound care expert with deep experience managing complex, high-acuity wounds. Confident making timely, evidence-based recommendations independently. Highly organized, detail-oriented, and accountable. Comfortable delivering expert guidance remotely through a consultation platform. Passionate about improving outcomes for an underserved patient population. Collaborative and communicative, working closely with facility physicians, advanced practice providers, and nursing teams. Required Qualifications Current Nurse Practitioner certification through ANCC or AANP. Current wound care certification (ABWM, WOCNCB, NAWCO, or equivalent approved certification). Minimum of 5 years of advanced wound care experience managing chronic and complex wounds. Active, unrestricted RN and APRN licenses in Arizona (additional APRN state licenses a plus). Strong understanding of evidence-based wound healing principles and clinical practice guidelines. Excellent written communication and documentation skills. High level of personal accountability, professionalism, and integrity. Ability to work independently in a fully remote environment. Other Requirements Reliable high-speed internet service. Dedicated home office environment. Ability to work scheduled hours and remain engaged throughout the workday. Willingness to participate in call coverage rotations.
