I tell Orthopedic Surgery candidates considering Tennessee that the in-state base typically lands inside the national range above, with rural and HPSA-designated counties producing offers at or above the upper end once signing bonuses, loan repayment, and rural premiums are stacked. The single biggest variance lever for any Orthopedic Surgery offer in Tennessee is whether the role sits in one of the major Tennessee metros above or in a shortage-area county.

Tennessee runs an annual Conrad State 30 J-1 waiver allotment that regularly absorbs Orthopedic Surgery candidates serving HPSA sites; NHSC loan repayment is broadly available at qualifying Tennessee FQHCs and critical-access employers.
