Our clinical and educational activities are centered in downtown at the Methodist University Hospital, The Regional Medical Center, and the Memphis VA Medical Center. The new affiliation of the UT Health Science Center with the Methodist Healthcare System will lead to further expansion of our clinical and educational activities to Methodist University Hospital in the near future. Our out-patient clinical offices are currently located in the downtown medical complex. All faculty clinical services are administered through UT Medical Group, the clinical practice arm of the full-time faculty of the University of Tennessee.
