Physician Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a physician in Tennessee?
To practice medicine in Tennessee you must hold an active license issued by the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners, which requires completing medical school, passing all steps of the USMLE or COMLEX, and finishing an accredited residency program. After passing the licensing exam requirements, you apply directly to the Board with your training verification, malpractice history, and graduate medical education documentation before you can begin seeing patients.
Which companies hire physicians in Tennessee?
Employers hiring physicians in Tennessee right now include TeamHealth, Fast Pace Health, and Ascension, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Tennessee's large integrated health systems and academic medical centers tend to post the broadest range of specialties, from primary care to subspecialty and surgical roles across both urban campuses and regional community hospitals.
Which Tennessee cities have the most physician jobs?
Memphis, Knoxville, and Nashville account for the highest concentration of physician openings in Tennessee. Nashville drives volume through its dense cluster of major health systems and Vanderbilt's academic campus, Memphis adds significant demand through large tertiary centers serving the Mid-South region, and Knoxville reflects steady growth tied to Covenant Health and the University of Tennessee Medical Center.
Are there remote physician jobs in Tennessee?
Yes, but they're rare. About 19% of physician openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most clinical work. The positions most likely to offer remote or hybrid arrangements are in telemedicine, utilization review, population health management, and medical director roles that carry administrative rather than direct patient care responsibilities.
How can I get hired as a physician in Tennessee with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for residency or fellowship positions at Tennessee's teaching hospitals, including Vanderbilt University Medical Center, the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, and East Tennessee State University's Quillen College of Medicine. New attending physicians often start in hospitalist programs or employed primary care roles at large health systems like HCA Healthcare, which offer structured onboarding. Obtaining your Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners license and board eligibility before your search gives you a clear hiring advantage.
Where can I find and apply to physician jobs in Tennessee?
You can find and apply to physician jobs in Tennessee on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers actively hiring across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your specialty, preferred location, and practice setting, then apply directly to the positions that fit.
