Physician Recruitment Process and Compensation Overview

Competitive Compensation with Lifestyle-Enhancing Perks

In Bay St. Louis, you’ll enjoy the rare blend of strong compensation, exceptional lifestyle, and coastal affordability. Ochsner Health offers a guaranteed base salary for this role, placing it at the upper end of market value for a community urology position—especially when paired with no call and a flexible schedule. This salary includes a built-in 5% RVU cushion, which acts as a productivity floor and ensures income stability even if volume fluctuates in the early months.

You’ll also receive a sign-on bonus and relocation assistance to help you get settled in this scenic Gulf Coast community. The comprehensive benefits package includes malpractice coverage, 20 days of paid time off plus 7 holidays, and a $2,000 CME allowance with 10 additional days.

And with no state income tax in Mississippi, your take-home pay stretches further than in most coastal regions.
