For physicians interested in leadership, an Emergency Department Medical Director opportunity is also available.
Life Outside the ED
Kentucky offers an appealing alternative to larger metropolitan markets: affordable housing, short commutes, less traffic and immediate access to lakes, hiking, boating and outdoor recreation.
The community is also within reasonable driving distance of both Lexington and Knoxville, making it possible to enjoy a smaller-market lifestyle without feeling isolated.
