Internal Medicine Residency Chattanooga

Program Director's Welcome

Dr. Cary in his office.

The Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Medicine Chattanooga is the place where you can learn the art and craft of medicine from people who want to see you succeed and become the next generation of pace setting physicians practicing internal medicine.

Our goal is to prepare our residents for success in whatever field of internal medicine they would like to pursue. We have continually adapted and evolved our educational program to meet the needs of the learners we have on campus. Our faculty is passionate about teaching and care deeply about you as a physician that will serve many patients and the community you practice within.

Please look at our website as it is an excellent introduction to our training program. One of the greatest strengths of our program is the camaraderie of our residents. You will get to know the people you work and train with in ways that will form lifelong partnerships and friendships.

If you have any additional questions or would like additional information please feel free to contact our office or me. Good luck with interviews and please consider seeing us in Chattanooga!
