Job Description

DESCRIPTION

Are you looking for a nocturnist position that offers clinical autonomy, an
established hospital medicine team, and access to one of the most desirable
regions in the Southeast? TeamHealth is seeking a board-certified or
board-eligible internal medicine or family medicine physician to join our
hospital medicine team as a nocturnist at Methodist Medical Center in Oak Ridge,
Tennessee, just minutes from Knoxville.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
At Methodist Medical Center, you'll practice in a well-supported community
hospital where physicians enjoy a collaborative culture, strong specialty
support, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on patient care. As a
nocturnist, you'll benefit from a predictable schedule, focused clinical
responsibilities, and a team-centered environment designed to support both
professional satisfaction and work-life balance.

Opportunity Highlights
* Dedicated nocturnist schedule with block scheduling
* Advance practice clinician support
* Excellent specialty services
* No procedures required
* ICU coverage: we can admit into the ICU but patients are managed by
intensivist team

Consistently recognized as one of the best places to live in Tennessee,
Knoxville offers an exceptional quality of life with a cost of living below the
national average. Here you'll enjoy...

* Vibrant downtown filled with local restaurants, breweries, live music, and
cultural attractions
* Family-friendly communities with highly rated schools
* A growing economy and thriving healthcare sector

Whether you're seeking outdoor adventure, a welcoming community, or a more
balanced lifestyle, Knoxville offers the perfect blend of career opportunity and
personal fulfillment.

A growing city in the Great Smoky Mountains!

City Description

Home to The University of Tennessee and the corporate headquarters of many
national companies, Knoxville offers excellent public schools, a low cost of
living and no state income tax. Add to those perks, endless outdoor recreation
opportunities, a growing culinary scene, great family entertainment availability
and an active music scene that includes the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra. With
more than 100 miles of greenways and bike trails, Knoxville is the outdoor
enthusiast's dream. Go paddle boarding or kayaking with friends on the Tennessee
River or in one of the many local lakes and quarries, or skip over to south
Knoxville's Urban Wilderness for paved and off-road biking trails. For those

and Fountain for root beer floats or sundaes, go bowling at Maple Hall where you
can enjoy delicious cocktails and appetizers, or eat at one of the many
regionally recognized restaurants. This mid-sized city has much to explore and
offers easy access to other large cities like Chattanooga, Asheville, Nashville,
Atlanta and Lexington.
