Why This Tennessee Emergency Physician Role Stands Out

Strong emergency medicine openings are easy to find. Openings that pay $360/hour are not. This assignment rewards your ABEM board certification with a premium rate for every shift you work.

It is also one of the best-paid emergency medicine jobs in Tennessee right now. The facility wants a board-certified physician who can step into a busy department and lead with confidence.

That makes this a strong fit if you are a career emergency physician looking for higher pay, more control over your schedule, or a change of scenery.

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 Board-Certified Emergency Physicians

We are looking for a confident, adaptable Tennessee 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)
• An active Tennessee medical license, or eligibility to obtain one through the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners
• 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 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.
