PT Jobs in Mississippi: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a pt in Mississippi?

The board issues your license after verifying your credentials and exam results, and licensure must be renewed on a biennial basis.

Which companies hire pts in Mississippi?

Companies currently hiring pts in Mississippi include Memorial Hospital at Gulfport, Five Below, and Fastenal, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Mississippi's largest health systems and regional rehabilitation networks tend to post the most consistent openings across both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Which Mississippi cities have the most pt jobs?

Gulfport, Southaven, and Hattiesburg have the most pt openings in Mississippi. Jackson leads because it is home to the University of Mississippi Medical Center and a concentration of specialty clinics, while Gulfport and Hattiesburg benefit from anchor health systems like Memorial Hospital and Forrest Health that drive hiring across both inpatient facilities and outpatient rehabilitation centers throughout their surrounding regions.

How can I get hired as a pt in Mississippi with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying for new graduate positions at large Mississippi health systems such as University of Mississippi Medical Center or Forrest Health, both of which regularly onboard new DPT graduates into structured clinical environments. Completing a clinical rotation at a Mississippi facility often converts directly into a job offer. Candidates without post-graduation experience gain an edge by holding an active Mississippi state license before applying and highlighting any clinical hour specialties from their accredited program, particularly in orthopedics or neurological care where Mississippi employers report the most consistent need.
