Important Note for International Medical Graduates (IMGs): It is important to note that while recent legislation in Tennessee pertains to the licensure of International Medical Graduates, this law is applicable only to institutions with ACGME-accredited residency programs located in Tennessee. Since our residency programs are based in Virginia, we are unable to accommodate the pathways outlined by this specific Tennessee legislation. IMGs interested in these new state-specific opportunities should consider focusing their search on academic institutions based in Tennessee.

U.S. residency is a requirement for this position.
