Life in Bolivar

Bolivar sits in the Missouri Ozarks, about 30 minutes from Springfield and under two hours from Kansas City. The cost of living is low enough that your compensation goes meaningfully further here than it would in a metro market. The community is small - around 11,000 people - which means your patients know your name and you know theirs. Outdoor access is real: Stockton, Truman, Pomme de Terre, Lake of the Ozarks, Table Rock and Bull Shoals lakes are all easily accessible.

Requirements

• MD or DO
• Board certified or board eligible in Pediatrics
