Solo / Independent Practice Surgery: Cardiovascular Job in Knoxville, Tennessee
This permanent cardiovascular surgery opportunity in Knoxville, Tennessee is offered, among other options, as a solo or independent practice arrangement. In this model, you own and run your own practice rather than working as an employee: you bill under your own name, build your own patient panel, and set your own staffing, scheduling, and practice style. The recruiting organization typically supports your start-up, often through an income guarantee, while you retain the autonomy and financial upside that come with practice ownership. This listing also notes that the role is available under several other practice structures, including single-specialty, multi-specialty, hospital-employed, and community health center arrangements.
Financial support for this listing includes an income guarantee among the financial structures offered, and the financial offering is listed as an open tier. Relocation assistance and a signing bonus are also provided. There is no patient call and no emergency department call associated with this position.
Candidates considered include those who are board certified or board eligible, trained as MD or DO, and either American or foreign medical graduates, provided they hold US citizenship or a green card. Physicians at any experience level — recently trained, experienced, or very experienced — are eligible to apply.
