Chancellor's Office

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC). The Health Science Center is a statewide institution with major campus locations in Memphis, Knoxville and Chattanooga, as well as more than 100 clinical and educational sites across the state.

The Health Science Center comprises six fully accredited health science colleges -- Allied Health Sciences, Dentistry, Graduate Health Sciences, Medicine, Nursing and Pharmacy – which are fully integrated on our three major campus locations. These colleges are the primary source of health care professional training for the state of Tennessee. The Memphis main campus serves as the home of all our colleges. The Colleges of Medicine, Pharmacy, and Allied Health Sciences support a major campus in Knoxville based at the UT Medical Center. In Chattanooga the College of Medicine maintains a large campus in association with the Erlanger Medical Center.

Our clinical practices account for more than $200 million in revenue. Our research enterprise contributes more than $100 million to the UTHSC mission. In addition to our degree-granting programs, UTHSC has approximately 1,200 physician residents and fellows in 87 fully accredited training programs. Advanced training for nurses, pharmacists, dentists, allied health professionals, and medical scientists is integral to the Health Science Center.

Our colleges are led by professionals with a solid commitment to our mission: to improve human health through education, research, clinical care and public service. As the flagship statewide academic health system, UTHSC is dedicated to delivering groundbreaking discoveries that improve the lives of those in our immediate area, as well as those in our state, region and global community. We are committed to providing an environment that is challenging, enriching, productive and safe.
