Pediatrician Opportunity | Gulf Coast Lifestyle Without the Coastal Price Tag | $400K+ Potential | Mississippi
Practice rural medicine. Live the Gulf Coast lifestyle.
Join a thriving, hospital-employed 3-physician pediatric practice in Lucedale, Mississippi, a charming community that offers the best of both worlds: a relaxed rural lifestyle with easy access to the Gulf Coast's most desirable destinations. Lucedale is located less than an hour from Mobile, Alabama, and within easy reach of Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Pascagoula, Biloxi, and other popular Gulf Coast communities.

Many physicians choose to live between Lucedale and the coast, enjoying acreage, lower housing costs, excellent schools, and a short drive to white-sand beaches, boating, fishing, waterfront dining, and year-round outdoor recreation. [distance-cities.com], [distance-cities.com]
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Hospital-employed pediatric position
- Join an established 3-physician pediatric team
- No delivery attendance required
- High-risk deliveries and complex pediatric cases referred to tertiary centers
- Monday through Friday schedule
- Excellent clinical support staff
- Collegial environment with strong hospital backing
- Opportunity to build long-term relationships with families in a community that values its physicians
Income & Flexibility
Whether you're seeking outstanding work-life balance or maximum earning potential, this practice can accommodate your goals.
- Comfortable patient volumes available
- Opportunity to see 30+ patients daily for physicians seeking higher productivity
- Highly rewarding wRVU model
- Proven earnings of $400,000+ annually
- $300,000 guaranteed base salary
- $100,000 sign-on bonus
- Comprehensive benefits package
- Retirement plan
- Paid CME and PTO
- Malpractice coverage
Live Where Others Vacation
Lucedale offers the rare opportunity to enjoy a slower pace of life without feeling isolated. You'll be close enough to enjoy:
- Mobile's dining, shopping, arts, and airport access in under an hour [travelmath.com], [distance-cities.com]
- Weekend trips to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach beaches in approximately two hours or less [distance-cities.com], [distance-cities.com]
- Gulf Coast fishing, boating, kayaking, and waterfront recreation [distance-cities.com], [distance-cities.com]
- Coastal communities including Pascagoula, Biloxi, Ocean Springs, Fairhope, Mobile, Gulf Shores, and Orange Beach
- Affordable housing, larger properties, and a family-friendly atmosphere
The Sweet Spot of Southern Living
This is an opportunity to practice in a community where you can truly make a difference while enjoying access to everything that makes the Gulf Coast special. Build your career in a supportive 3-physician practice, earn exceptional compensation, and enjoy a lifestyle that combines rural charm, coastal recreation, and metropolitan amenities.
Big income. Small-town medicine. Gulf Coast lifestyle.
