Residency Program
Letter from the Department Chair
This is an exciting time for the Department of Family Medicine. We have the unique opportunity to innovate our clinical and academic programs through a restructuring of our facility. When completed, we will have a state-of-the-art academic complex consisting of an auditorium equipped with up-to-date audiovisual tools, personal resident/fellow workspace for scholarly activity, and a resident lounge. The new clinical space, home to our University Family Physicians practice, will create four patient care suites, new procedural rooms, a consolidated occupational medicine clinic, and expanded laboratory facilities.
We will practice/teach the patient-centered medical home model through our patient care suites. The new procedure rooms and laboratory space will increase our basket of services for residency education and clinical care. Education in practice management, quality improvement, procedures, and chronic disease management will be integrated into the patient care suites.
Our Department is blessed with gifted clinicians whose passion is teaching family medicine and a staff dedicated to providing compassionate patient care. Residents serve as vital parts of our clinical teams. Areas of excellence within our academic program include the care of the elderly, behavioral medicine, ambulatory medicine, and hospital medicine.
We greatly appreciate your interest in our Department, residency program or fellowship offerings and look forward to meeting you and showing you our Knoxville hospitality. Please feel free to contact us for questions.
Sincerely,
