Why Memphis?
Memphis is a truly incredible town with so much to offer! Catch dinner at the iconic Majestic Grille before taking in a Grizzlies NBA game at the FedEx Forum. Learn the history of Memphis music at Elvis Presley’s Graceland, Stax Records, and Sun Studio. Soak in the sun at Shelby Farms or the Big River Crossing. Enjoy shopping at our Bass Pro Shop, housed in the tenth-tallest pyramid in the world, then explore the nightlife on historic Beale Street.
Those are just a few reasons Memphis was named one of Condé Nast Traveler’s 23 Best Places to Go in 2023. Our UT Health Science Center was also named the ninth safest college in America by Alarms.org.
But most of all, Memphis is the healthcare hub of the Mid-South's large and diverse population.
You can find UT Health Science Center faculty, residents, fellows, and staff at:
- two phenomenal children’s hospitals (Le Bonheur Children's Hospital and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital)
- one of the busiest trauma centers in the country (Regional One Health)
- a top-ten-ranked cardiac surgery hospital (Baptist Memorial Hospital)
- a hospital with a state-of-the-art transplant institute (Methodist University Hospital)
- a hospital that serves almost 200,000 veterans a year from 53 different counties in the area (Memphis VA Medical Center)
Memphis is THE place to be!
