THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE HEALTH SCIENCES, COLLEGE OF MEDICINE - KNOXVILLE

The University of Tennessee College of Medicine – Knoxville (UT Health Sciences COM-Knoxville) was initially established in 1956 as the UT Memorial Research Center and Hospital, which also provided the graduate medical and dental educational (GMDE) and research programs in Knoxville. The GMDE programs collectively became the UT Graduate School of Medicine with the formation of the University of Tennessee Medical Center (UT Medical) in 1991, and more recently were renamed the UT Health Sciences COM-Knoxville with the increased emphasis on undergraduate medical education in Knoxville as well as the statewide presence of UT Health Sciences.

The mission of the Knoxville Campus is to advance medical education required to train the next generation of physicians and dentists, deliver comprehensive and compassionate care with our hospital partner, UT Medical, and conduct innovative research that is meaningful for patients and their families.
