Maternal Fetal Medicine Job in Memphis, TN | Fetal Imaging & Ultrasound Leadership

Job Description

Job Description

Help rebuild a fetal diagnostic and ultrasound program with a history of strength in advanced fetal imaging and an opportunity to influence what comes next. This academic MFM position is intentionally focused on fetal imaging, ultrasound, and genetics, creating a distinct path for a physician who wants to concentrate expertise in this area rather than maintain a traditional maternal-heavy practice. The department is particularly interested in an experienced physician who can bridge its senior and younger faculty while mentoring the next generation of MFM specialists. For the right candidate, there is a meaningful succession pathway toward Director of Ultrasound, with timing dependent on prior experience and a thoughtful transition with current leadership. Relationships with neighboring pediatric and specialty programs also create exposure to structurally abnormal fetuses, fetal cardiac disease, and select rare maternal conditions. It is an opportunity to combine specialized clinical work, academics, mentorship, and program building in a setting where your expertise can have a visible impact.

Live in Memphis, Tennessee 

Memphis gives physicians an affordable place to establish roots while staying connected to the amenities and accessibility of a major regional city. Established neighborhoods and suburbs provide a range of options for physicians looking to live close to the medical district or create more separation between work and home. Tennessee does not impose an individual income tax on wages, adding another financial advantage to the comparatively affordable housing market. An international airport makes travel convenient, while the city's growing medical district creates an environment shaped by healthcare, academics, and continued development. Outside of medicine, Memphis brings together a distinctive mix of music, food, and culture that gives the city an identity all its own. It is a practical home base for a physician who values affordability and connectivity without giving up the energy and cultural depth of city living.

Community Highlights 

• International airport access 
• Comparatively affordable housing 
• Established suburbs and residential neighborhoods 
• No Tennessee individual income tax on wages 
• Growing medical district 
• Renowned music culture 
• Distinctive local food scene
