What The Students are Saying
"I have completed the majority of my clinical rotations at the Graduate School of Medicine, including Internal Medicine, OB/GYN, Family Medicine, Pathology and Radiology. If I had to do it all over again, I would do just the same. The attendings strive to make students active members of the team. The teaching at morning report and noon conferences is excellent. Lastly, UT residents are very student-friendly and serve as great role models with their hard work, positive attitudes and solid knowledge base."
Damon Deleon, M4 (UTHSC COM)
"I would have to say that my experience here in Knoxville has been a rather enriching one. Having heard about the various rotations at different hospitals, I feel that I made the right decision finishing out my clinicals in Knoxville. The student-to-faculty ratio is great, and there is an immense amount of individual attention and learning. I did a lot of things on my rotations here that other students did not do at other places. I felt that there was more accountability and individual investment in the students here. I believe that since housing has been available, the growing number of students has been very positive and it will further strengthen the residencies here with more applicants from UTHSC in the future."
Ben Huff, M4 (UTHSC COM)
"The GSM, to me, is an excellent place to experience a community-based hospital with an academic foundation. The excellent leaders and teachers in the GSM, whether it be an attending physician, resident or staff member, have all helped me in my journey to become a physician. I am most thankful."
