The University of Tennessee is an EEO/AA/Title VI/Title IX/Section 504/ADA/ADEA institution.

Duty Hours:

It is the policy of the program that resident duty hours will be reasonable and not excessive.  The Program Director, Dr. Robert Wake, along with the Chairman, Dr. Mitchell Steiner, are responsible for the assignment for all duty stations and duty hours.  This is periodically monitored by the UT Memphis GME office for all UT Memphis residency programs.  Each urology resident has at least one full day out of seven free of hospital duties.  The urology residents at each of the participating institutions take weekday call every other night with back-up from the chief or senior resident assigned to that facility.  This call is taken from home and consequently the use of in-house sleep rooms is not required.  However, such rooms are available at University Hospital and Methodist Hospital if such necessity occurs.
