Tennessee Code Title 63. Professions of the Healing Arts § 63-6-213

(c)(1) The board may, through the department of health's general counsel, petition any circuit or chancery court having jurisdiction over any person within this state who is practicing medicine without a license or in violation of a restriction or condition placed upon a license, regardless of whether such practice resulted from a license being restricted, conditioned, denied, or because a license has been suspended or revoked by action of the board, or any other reason, to enjoin such person from conducting or continuing to conduct the unlawful practice of medicine within this state.

(2) Jurisdiction is conferred upon the circuit and chancery courts of this state to hear and determine all such causes as equity causes and are authorized to exercise full and complete jurisdiction in these injunctive proceedings. Nothing in this section shall be construed as conferring criminal jurisdiction upon any court not now possessing such criminal jurisdiction, nor shall any such court, as an incident to the injunctive proceedings authorized in this section, have the power to assess criminal penalties.
