This Emergency Medicine travel physician role is based out of Knoxville, Tennessee, offering a structured, organization-backed alternative to traditional locum tenens work. Physicians rotate across a variety of emergency practice settings within a single integrated organization — the same entity that holds your malpractice coverage and bears operational responsibility for every site where you work.
