Job description

Location: Knoxville, TN (Onsite) | Type: Contract (up to 1 year) | Experience: 2+ years

About the Role

You'll provide comprehensive evaluations for adult patients in a structured outpatient setting, with 45-minute appointments that give you actual time with each person. No call responsibilities, and no high-volume productivity metrics hanging over your day.

Our client is a respected outpatient healthcare organization where providers work within a collaborative, well-supported clinical environment. The patient population is adults presenting with chronic health concerns, musculoskeletal conditions, mental health symptoms, and complex medical histories, so the clinical work stays varied and substantive.

If you've been worn down by packed schedules and visit quotas, this role is built differently.

What You'll Do

• Conduct comprehensive 45-minute evaluations with adult patients
• Assess a wide range of presentations, including chronic medical conditions, musculoskeletal complaints, and functional limitations
• Evaluate anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms as part of whole-person care
• Manage general primary care and internal medicine related concerns
• Produce clear, thorough clinical documentation
• Practice independently while collaborating with a multidisciplinary team
• Set a schedule that works for you, anywhere from 1 day per week up to full time (32 to 40 hours weekly is the ideal)

Qualifications

• Active Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant license
• 2+ years of experience with strong adult assessment and clinical documentation skills
• Experience working with medically complex adult populations preferred
• Comfortable working independently within a multidisciplinary care setting
• Backgrounds that fit well include primary care, internal medicine, family medicine, occupational medicine, urgent care, and adult medicine

Why Join Us

This is a contract opportunity of up to one year with top compensation and excellent benefits available. You get flexibility in how much you work, meaningful patient interaction, and a predictable outpatient schedule in a supportive environment.
