Our faculty are a diverse group with experience in rural and urban private practice, operative obstetrics, sports medicine, geriatric medicine, lifestyle medicine, palliative medicine, and medical mission work. Our graduates have traversed nearly every avenue of family medicine nationwide from outpatient practice, hospitalist medicine, academics, and additional fellowship training.  Our program is pleased that our trainees have a 100% fellowship match rate in Sports Medicine, Obstetrics, Palliative Care, and Emergency Medicine.  We were also the first program in Tennessee to adopt the Lifestyle Medicine Residency Curriculum.

 

ERAS and NRMP

Our program offers seven total Categorical PGY-1 positions in Family Medicine for July 1, 2025: 

• Six (6) Categorical Family Medicine Positions and
• One (1) Categorical Rural Family Medicine Track position.

All applicants for both tracks must go through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) to apply to our program.  Finally, all our PGY-1 positions are committed through the National Resident Matching Program Main Match (NRMP).  Within ERAS, applicants for the traditional Categorical Family Medicine Program would indicate that track on the application within ERAS.

• Our Family Medicine ACGME Program Number is 1204731584.
• Our Categorical Family Medicine Program's NRMP code is 1689120C0.  

Our Family Medicine Program has also been approved by the ACGME to offer a Rural Family Medicine Track.  This track still falls under the ACGME Program # 1204731584.

Both tracks are available within the ERAS application system, so you when you submit your applications in ERAS, you should if you are applying for the Categorical Family Medicine Program Track, the Categorical Rural Family Medicine Program Track, or both.

After interviews are concluded and applicants are ready to submit their rank preference lists through the NRMP Main Matching Program, please be aware that there are two separate NRMP Program #s for our two Family Medicine Programs:

• NRMP Program Code #1689120C0 for our traditional Family Medicine Categorical Track
• NRMP Program Code #1689120C1 for our Rural Family Medicine Track.

If you are only interested in our traditional Family Medicine Residency, you would include Program #1689120C0 in your rank list.

If you are only interested in our Rural Family Medicine Track Residency, you would include Program #1689120C0 in your rank list.

If you are interested in both our traditional Categorical Family Medicine Program and in our Rural Track Program, you would include both programs in your Main Match Rank List.
