The journey from a medical resident to an expert wound care physician is unique and filled with opportunities for growth, learning, and making a tangible difference in patients' lives. The field of wound care, with its complexities and the critical role it plays in patient recovery, offers a fulfilling career path for those passionate about healing and patient care.
For many physicians, the interest in wound care begins during residency, where the first encounters with complex wounds spark a curiosity and passion for this specialized field. However, transitioning from a resident or a non-board certified physician to a wound care expert can seem daunting. Recognizing this, Skilled Wound Care has developed programs specifically designed to support physicians at this critical stage of their career.
The Not Finished Residency Program
Understanding that not every physician's journey is linear, Skilled Wound Care offers the Not Finished Residency™ program, tailored for those who have embarked on their medical careers but are seeking to specialize in wound care. This program is a great option for medical residents and non-board certified physicians, providing a structured pathway to gaining the specialized knowledge and experience required to excel in wound care.
Training and Support: Building Expertise
Training to become a wound care physician is an immersive experience. At Skilled Wound Care, we emphasize hands-on learning supported by a robust continuing education program.

Our physicians receive ongoing support and mentoring from seasoned experts, fostering an environment where learning is continuous and collaborative.
Fellowship Opportunities
For those seeking an even deeper dive into wound care, fellowship opportunities offer an intensive, focused experience. These programs are designed to hone your skills, deepen your understanding, and prepare you for the challenges and rewards of a career in wound care. Through our fellowship, physicians work closely with leading experts, engage in cutting-edge research, and gain firsthand experience in managing complex wound cases.

One of the most appealing aspects of a career in wound care with Skilled Wound Care is clinical autonomy.
