Why This Tennessee Emergency Department Physician Role Stands Out

Few emergency medicine openings combine a strong hourly rate with flexible board requirements. This assignment does both. At $360/hour, you are paid competitively for every shift you work, and you can build your schedule around the life you want outside the hospital.

The role is also open to a wider pool of emergency physicians than most. If you hold ABEM certification, you qualify. If you trained or certified through another pathway and have solid ED experience, you can still be considered.

What You Will Do in the Emergency Department

You will join an established ED team and take ownership of patients from triage through disposition. Typical duties include:

• Evaluating, stabilizing, and treating patients of all acuity levels, from minor injuries to critical emergencies
• Performing emergency procedures within your privileges, such as airway management, central lines, and laceration repair
• Ordering and interpreting labs, imaging, and ECGs to reach fast, accurate diagnoses
• Coordinating admissions, transfers, and consults with hospitalists and specialists
• Working closely with nurses, advanced practice providers, and ancillary staff to keep patient flow moving
• Completing clear, timely documentation in the facility’s electronic health record

Who Should Apply: ABEM and Non-ABEM Physicians

We are looking for a confident, adaptable emergency physician who can hit the ground running. Ideal candidates will have:

• MD or DO degree
• Board certification through the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM), or non-ABEM status with meaningful, recent emergency department experience
• An active Tennessee medical license, or eligibility to obtain one
• Current DEA registration and life support certifications as required by the facility (for example ACLS, PALS, and ATLS)
• A clean malpractice history and the ability to pass hospital credentialing

Final eligibility for non-ABEM candidates depends on the facility’s credentialing standards. Our recruiters will review your background with you before submission, so you know where you stand from the start.
