Thank you for your interest in our
program.
We at the University of
Tennessee-Saint Francis Family Medicine are committed to providing a quality
education to residents as well as medical students, while protecting personal
time. As an unopposed program, we have strong support from our hospital and
medical staff.
Our program was formed in 1975 to provide
the full scope of Family Medicine training. We have been there in the past
and we will continue to be there in the
future.
Saint Francis Hospital is a large
community hospital in east Memphis with a strong commitment to community
service. Our program is university-affiliated, community- based, and unopposed.
Our Family Medicine Center is adjacent to the hospital and parking is
free. Our practice includes hospital and office call, with our faculty
providing obstetric care. We have several faculty members with c-section
privileges. Our office provides procedures for our patients such as EGD,
colonoscopy, ultrasound, and colposcopy.
We strive to provide an educational
environment, which fosters advancement and allows independence. We work to
maintain a balance between personal and professional time.
Our night float system protects the
80-hour time guidelines. Residents are encouraged to remain caring and
compassionate as they mature into well rounded family physicians.
Memphis is a large community with a small
town feel. We have many
possibilities provided for outside interest and activity. Sporting activities
range from NBA basketball and Triple-A baseball to public golf courses. We have
art masonry as well as botanical gardens. The Memphis zoo boasts a new
Giant Panda exhibit. For the music lovers, we have music festivals, the infamous
blues on Beale Street, as well as our symphony and ballet. There is something
for everyone.
We believe in our program and want to
share it with you. Please feel free
to contact us at (901) 448-0276 or (800) 733-4858 and speak to our residency
coordinator, Priscilla Griffith.
