The Medical Explorations Program
What is the Medical Explorations Program?
Dr. Mitchell Goldman, a physician in the Department of Surgery at the University of Tennessee Medical Center, began Medical Explorations in 1991 after being approached by a West High high school student who wished to learn more about the medical field.
The Fall Lecture Series consists of once a month lectures that run September through April.
The six week Summer Lecture Series consists of one week rotations in various departments of the hospital. As the program has grown, so has the demand for instruction in other specialties.
The Physicians Medical Education and Research Foundation, Graduate School of Medicine under then Associate Dean Dr. I Reid Collmann, along with the University Health Systems funded a stipend for students who wanted to take part in the program but because of financial obligations couldn't afford to. Today, the stipends are continued through a generous grant from the Cole Foundation and other individual private donations.
