Director Remote Infectious Disease Jobs in Arizona

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.

Position Overview

We are seeking an exceptional Wound Care Nurse Practitioner to serve as a remote consultant supporting correctional healthcare teams nationwide. This is not an entry-level position. The ideal candidate brings extensive experience managing complex wounds, exercises outstanding clinical judgment, and is comfortable making timely, evidence-based recommendations independently while collaborating with physicians, nurses, and facility medical teams. Expertise in wound care paired with vascular disease, infectious disease, limb preservation, or complex chronic disease management is strongly preferred.

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.
