William Burkhart is a physician at Burkhart Direct Family Care in Lenoir City, board certified by the American Board of Family Medicine. His path to medicine started somewhere unexpected. He earned a bachelor's degree in music education from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 2008 and spent several years working as a band director, general music teacher, and orchestral conductor before deciding to pursue medicine instead.
He went on to graduate from ETSU Quillen College of Medicine in 2019 and completed his residency at UMKC Community and Family Medicine in Kansas City, Missouri in 2022. That earlier career in music still shapes how he sees his work today, bringing an ear for listening and a steady, patient approach to caring for patients in Lenoir City.
