When you step into the electrophysiology program at Southern Medical Group, you join a three-physician team that holds a commanding presence across North Florida and South Georgia. For two hours in any direction, there is no comparable EP program. This geographic advantage translates directly into your practice: patients travel to see you, referrals flow consistently, and your clinical calendar stays full without the cutthroat competition that defines urban markets. You will be the fourth EP physician in a group that is expanding to meet demand, not replacing departures. The team wants you here because the volume justifies it and the service area needs it.
Southern Medical Group operates as a private practice with a professional services agreement with Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare. This structure gives you the autonomy and earning potential of private practice while providing the stability and resources of a major health system partnership. You are not hospital-employed. You are a practice owner in the making, with a clear path to partnership and equity.
You arrive at a pivotal moment. Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare is constructing a fully integrated Heart and Vascular Institute that unifies inpatient care, outpatient clinics, and a new ambulatory surgery center under one operational umbrella. The EP section sits at the center of this growth strategy. Hospital leadership has identified electrophysiology as the cardiovascular subspecialty with the highest projected growth over the next decade, and they are investing accordingly. New EP labs are coming online. A two-lab ASC opens this spring. The infrastructure is being built around you.
The pending academic affiliation with Florida State University adds another dimension. A cardiology fellowship is in development, which means teaching opportunities for those who want them and a pipeline of future colleagues trained in your program. The community hospital identity remains intact, with a 40-year rolling lease ensuring local governance and a community-majority board. You get academic resources without academic salary constraints.
This is a practice where your clinical volume is limited only by your own ambition. The infrastructure supports growth. The market demands your expertise. The team is ready for a fourth partner who wants to build something significant in a region that genuinely needs advanced cardiac rhythm care.
