Welcome to College of Medicine - Memphis

The University of Tennessee College of Medicine is part of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC). Three fully integrated campuses (Memphis, Knoxville, and Chattanooga) constitute the University of Tennessee College of Medicine. The College offers programs leading to the Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree. The educational program is 155 weeks in length with the first fifty-five weeks (basic sciences) currently being taken in Memphis. There are over 600 full-time faculty in the twenty-three departments on our Memphis Campus who provide this instruction as well as that of the clerkship and electives in the clinical sciences. These faculty are also involved in 43 Postgraduate Medical Education Programs for over 600 residents in addition to their clinical practices and active research programs. The practice plan of our physicians generates over $100 million to the College's annual budget and the research programs, over $50 million. Third and fourth year students from the College of Medicine can rotate on all three Campuses as well as other training areas throughout the State. Clearly the variety of academic programs that the College has across the state is a real strength for medical students, residents in postgraduate education and patient care.
