Capital Campaigns
Family Medicine Facility
The UT Graduate School of Medicine has embarked on a capital campaign to raise $6 million to build a new multidisciplinary family medicine facility, housing comprehensive services and programs under one roof. The campaign will enable improved and continuing healthcare for the families in our community. Already, $2 million of the campaign goal have been raised through the generosity of a local family and through an award from the Health Resources and Services Agency Administration. This financial support has allowed for the completion of Phase I of the campaign: A first-floor clinic addition and ground-floor resident educational area. Download Brochure (.pdf)
UT Center for Advanced Medical Simulation
Simulation has become a significant component of the education and training of healthcare teams, including physicians, nurses, fellows, residents and others. Furthering its legacy, the UT Graduate School of Medicine is committed to this rapidly evolving component of healthcare training. We know the brightest and best medical students are attracted to the availability of simulation training when choosing a residency or fellowship program. And equally important, we understand that it ultimately enhances the quality and safety of care for the entire community and region. Download Brochure (.pdf)

Academic Endowments: Endowed Chairs and Fellowships
Giving to an endowed chair program provides consistent research funding for outstanding educators, clinicians, and scientists. Endowed chairs are vital to academic medicine and are a hallmark of a great university. An endowed chair in each department of the UT Graduate School of Medicine will ensure a solid foundation to initiate and expand far-reaching clinical, research and educational programs.
The UT Graduate School of Medicine also is dedicated to expanding advanced training opportunities for physicians through creating endowed academic fellowships. Fellowships provide advanced study in medical sub-specialties and help secure medical specialists for our region. The UT Graduate School of Medicine currently has nine fellowship programs, each representing a field of medicine in high demand in the nation and in East Tennessee. Download Brochure (.pdf)
