Fellowships
The Department of Family Medicine administers fellowships in Sports Medicine, Obstetrics, Behavioral Medicine and Homeland Security. In addition to accepting graduates of Family Medicine Residencies, graduates of other primary care programs may be considered in all of the fellowships, except the Obstetrics Fellowship, which is targeted only to graduates of our program in Knoxville.
The program directors are noted for their expertise and energy in developing programs that provide a practical, well-rounded fellowship experience. A wide variety of venues are utilized to take advantage of the considerable expertise in our community. To this end, we have developed excellent working relationships with other departments, hospitals and educational institutions (colleges and high schools) in the area. Our Fellows complete their programs feeling very well trained, and they compare very favorably with their peers who have completed fellowship training.
Fellowships enrich the parent institution and the community, while providing advanced training in specific areas of interest for board-eligible residency graduates. They also provide a framework for developing research interests within our department.
