Hire a Primary Care Physician in Tennessee — Without the $47,600+ Agency Fee
Tennessee's Appalachian counties carry some of the widest rural primary care gaps in the Southeast, and Tennessee NPs still require a Collaborative Practice Agreement with a physician who personally reviews at least 20% of their charts every 30 days — which makes every primary care physician hire more consequential to your whole care team. MDdocjobs gives you direct access to 2,163+ registered physicians and APPs for $199 per posting. No agency. No commission. No middleman.

Expanding an NP-staffed clinic in Tennessee starts with securing a Collaborative Practice Agreement. A single primary care hire can unlock capacity for an entire team of APPs.
Rural East Tennessee's Appalachian counties carry some of the widest primary care gaps in the Southeast, and often compete against Nashville-area systems willing to pay steep agency fees.
NHSC and Tennessee loan repayment programs exist for physicians willing to serve underserved counties — a strong hook to include directly in your MDdocjobs posting.
Tennessee has been part of the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact since 2017, giving qualified out-of-state primary care physicians a well-established, expedited path into Tennessee practice.
Candidates on MDdocjobs understand Tennessee's Collaborative Practice Agreement structure — helpful when you're recruiting a physician specifically to collaborate with an existing APP team.
Traditional Tennessee staffing agencies charge 20–25% of first-year salary for a PCP placement. MDdocjobs charges $199 per posting. No commission, ever.
