Family Physician Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a family physician in Tennessee?
Becoming a family physician in Tennessee requires earning an MD or DO degree, completing a three-year accredited family medicine residency, and obtaining an unrestricted license from the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners. Applicants must pass the United States Medical Licensing Examination or the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination series. Board certification through the American Board of Family Medicine strengthens candidacy significantly with Tennessee employers.
How much do family physicians make in Tennessee?
Family physicians in Tennessee earn a median of about $226,830 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $100,290 for the lowest 10% to over $481,200 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire family physicians in Tennessee?
Employers hiring family physicians in Tennessee right now include Fast Pace Health, TriStar Health, and Vohra Wound Physicians, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Tennessee's mix of large academic medical systems, rural health networks, and community health centers creates consistent hiring activity across both urban and smaller-market locations throughout the state.
Which Tennessee cities have the most family physician jobs?
Memphis, Cleveland, and Covington lead Tennessee in family physician openings. Nashville's dense concentration of hospital systems and outpatient networks drives the largest share of listings, while Memphis produces consistent demand through its major academic and community health employers, and Knoxville's growing regional health infrastructure supports strong hiring across East Tennessee.
Are there remote family physician jobs in Tennessee?
Yes, but they're rare. About 33% of family physician openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting how hands-on the role is by nature. The portions of the work most suited to remote delivery are telemedicine follow-up visits and chronic disease management consultations offered through established Tennessee health systems.
How can I get hired as a family physician in Tennessee with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is securing a residency-completion position at a federally qualified health center or a community health organization, both of which hire new attendings throughout Tennessee. Large systems such as Vanderbilt Health and Regional One Health in Memphis run new-physician onboarding tracks designed for those finishing residency. Completing your Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners licensure and having board eligibility documented before applying gives candidates a measurable edge over those still in the examination process.
Where can I find and apply to family physician jobs in Tennessee?
You can find and apply to family physician jobs in Tennessee on Migrate Mate, which lists current Tennessee openings from employers across the state. Search the listings for roles that match your specialty focus, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
