Merit Health Natchez, the region’s trusted leader in advanced cardiovascular care, is seeking a Board Certified/Board Eligible Interventional Cardiologist to join a thriving, well-established cardiology program serving a multi-county referral base across Mississippi and Louisiana.

This is a rare opportunity to walk into an established, high-demand practice with strong institutional support and a clear growth strategy.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Step into an established cardiology service line with a robust referral network and significant regional demand.

Program Expansion & Growth Vision

• Interventional procedures are currently performed at Merit Health River Region in Vicksburg, with strategic plans underway to develop a cath lab in Natchez - offering you the opportunity to help shape and grow the program locally.

Flexible Candidate Profile

• Open to 2026/2027 Interventional Cardiology Fellows
• Welcoming experienced Interventional Cardiologists
• J-1 waiver support available for 2027 candidates
• Must be American Board Eligible or Board Certified
• Compensation & Benefits

We offer a highly competitive recruitment package designed to support both your career and lifestyle:

• Competitive base salary with strong earning potential
• Fellowship stipend (for physicians still in training)
• Relocation assistance
• Comprehensive benefits package
• CME allowance, dues, and subscriptions
• Licensing and board certification fee support
