Independent Emergency Medicine in a Critical Access Setting

Mercy Hospital Lincoln is seeking an Emergency Medicine physician to join our team in Troy, Missouri. This opportunity is ideal for an experienced physician who is confident practicing independently and values making a meaningful impact in a critical-access, community-centered setting.

If you're drawn to autonomy, variety, and truly being needed, this role offers the chance to care for a grateful, loyal patient population where your work is seen, valued, and deeply appreciated.
