Physician Assistant Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a physician assistant in Tennessee?
To become a physician assistant in Tennessee, you must graduate from an ARC-PA accredited master's-level program, pass the PANCE administered by the NCCPA, and apply for licensure through the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners. The board requires proof of accredited education, a passing PANCE score, and a completed application with background check. Once licensed, you must maintain active NCCPA certification to keep your Tennessee license in good standing.
How much do physician assistants make in Tennessee?
Physician assistants in Tennessee earn a median of about $118,240 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $93,380 for the lowest 10% to over $141,670 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire physician assistants in Tennessee?
Companies currently hiring physician assistants in Tennessee include Fast Pace Health, Dane Street, and Optum, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Tennessee's concentration of large integrated health systems and growing urgent care networks means openings appear regularly across inpatient, outpatient, and specialty practice settings statewide.
Which Tennessee cities have the most physician assistant jobs?
Nashville, Chattanooga, and Tennessee have the most physician assistant openings in Tennessee. Nashville leads because of its dense cluster of hospital systems, academic medical centers, and corporate healthcare headquarters, while Memphis draws volume from regional referral hospitals and its strong surgical subspecialty programs, and Knoxville benefits from the anchor presence of the University of Tennessee Medical Center and surrounding community health networks.
Are there remote physician assistant jobs in Tennessee?
Yes, but they're rare. Physician assistant work is fundamentally hands-on and most roles require on-site patient contact, so remote positions are limited. About 20% of physician assistant openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those that do exist tend to involve telehealth triage, care management, or clinical documentation review rather than direct procedural care.
How can I get hired as a physician assistant in Tennessee with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate residency or fellowship programs run by Tennessee health systems, with Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Ballad Health among the institutions that have offered structured post-graduate training for new PAs. Candidates can also target urgent care groups and rural health clinics across East and Middle Tennessee, which regularly hire new graduates willing to work in underserved areas. Strong PANCE scores, clinical rotation experience in a Tennessee facility, and an active Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners license before applying all improve competitiveness significantly.
Where can I find and apply to physician assistant jobs in Tennessee?
You can find and apply to physician assistant jobs in Tennessee on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search for roles that match your specialty and experience level, then apply directly to the ones that fit. No profile creation is needed to see the listings or submit an application.
