Radiologic Technologist Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a radiologic technologist in Tennessee?
To work as a radiologic technologist in Tennessee, you must hold an active license issued by the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners, which requires completing an accredited radiologic technology program and passing the ARRT certification examination in Radiography. Most programs are associate degrees offered at community colleges and technical schools across the state. Once licensed, you must renew every two years and complete continuing education to maintain both your Tennessee license and ARRT registration.
How much do radiologic technologists make in Tennessee?
Radiologic technologists in Tennessee earn a median of about $64,630 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $50,540 for the lowest 10% to over $90,790 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire radiologic technologists in Tennessee?
Employers hiring radiologic technologists in Tennessee right now include TriStar Health, TridentCare, and Erlanger, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Tennessee's high concentration of large regional hospital systems and expanding outpatient imaging networks means hiring is ongoing rather than seasonal.
Which Tennessee cities have the most radiologic technologist jobs?
Nashville, Chattanooga, and Hendersonville have the most radiologic technologist openings in Tennessee. Nashville leads because of its dense cluster of hospital systems and academic medical centers, while Memphis and Knoxville follow as major regional health hubs anchored by large employers like Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare and the University of Tennessee Medical Center.
Are there remote radiologic technologist jobs in Tennessee?
Yes, but they're rare. Radiologic technologist work is inherently hands-on and equipment-dependent, so the vast majority of positions require on-site presence in a clinical or imaging facility. About 20% of radiologic technologist openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those are almost exclusively in teleradiology support, scheduling, or quality assurance roles rather than direct patient imaging.
How can I get hired as a radiologic technologist in Tennessee with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new graduate positions at large Tennessee hospital systems, which regularly onboard ARRT-eligible candidates who have completed clinical rotations. HCA Healthcare and Vanderbilt University Medical Center both run structured new-grad orientation programs in Tennessee. Candidates coming from adjacent roles like radiologic technologist aide or imaging support tech gain a practical edge, as do those who complete additional ARRT certifications in CT or mammography while still in school. Having your Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners license application submitted before graduation signals readiness to employers.
