Hattiesburg Clinic, one of the largest physician-owned multi-specialty groups in the Southeast, is seeking a BE/BC Geriatrician, Internal Medicine or Family Medicine physician to join our staff in a Medical Director role serving patients in area nursing homes and working with the Quality Management team providing post-acute care. The candidate would provide medical house services at community skilled nursing facilities and potential in-home visits, in collaboration with advanced practice providers.  Candidates with American Board of Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine Medical Director Certification preferred.
