Healogics is the largest provider of advanced wound care services in the United States, treating more than 300,000 chronic wound patients annually across over 600 sites. With an aging society, obesity and diabetes on the rise, and an uptick in surgical procedures, the number of patients with non-healing wounds that would benefit from expert care is dramatically increasing. As a result, the company is working to provide our differentiated, quality outcomes to as many patients that would benefit through our out-patient clinic partnerships.

The Market Medical Director (MMD) is responsible for the oversight of medical care delivered within assigned Healogics Facilities. The Market Medical Director works collaboratively with the Medical, Clinical, and Operational Leadership in the assigned areas to develop and implement plans that assure Clinical Practice Guidelines are followed; desired medical outcomes are achieved; providers are supported in their practice performance; and performance barriers are removed. The Market Medical Director participates regionally in the advancement of wound care science and education. These medical oversight responsibilities account for approximately 20% to 50% of the role.

The Market Medical Director is expected to provide direct patient care in an active wound clinic setting.
