Office of Access and Compliance

Mission and Vision

The Office of Access and Compliance (OAC) supports the mission and strategic plan of UT Health Science Center by cultivating a welcoming and collaborative learning and working environment that enables everyone to thrive. Accomplished through close collaboration and partnerships with the campus communities in Memphis, Jackson, Nashville, Chattanooga, and Knoxville, OAC works to create a community that fosters an understanding and appreciation for our students, trainees, staff, faculty, and administrators. This is partly done by facilitating meaningful interactions between individuals from a collective mixture of cultures, social identities, values, beliefs, perspectives, and experiences.  

Reporting directly to the Executive Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration and Chief Operating Officer, the Office of Access and Compliance addresses experiences around feeling welcomed and valued across the university, evaluates systems and processes that enable opportunities and growth, and shares best practices to attract and retain all talent.
