Jackson Family Medicine

We are an unopposed program sponsored by the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis and based at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital.

We take pride in the excellent rapport we maintain with the medical community and with the number of graduates we have practicing in Jackson and nearby communities. UT-Jackson is an evidence-based teaching program that has a balance in medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, geriatrics, and emergency medicine.

Our full-time faculty is comprised of family medicine, internal medicine, and Obstetrics-Gynecology physicians. We have many other specialists and subspecialists as part-time faculty. Many alumni of our residency program also participate in the education of our residents. Local and regional physicians serve as lecturers, preceptors, and/or attending physicians to our residents. There are excellent opportunities to provide training, experience, and supervision to residents in Family Medicine.
