Graduate Medical Education

Graduate Medical EducationThe University of Tennessee College of Medicine Chattanooga is approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) to sponsor residency and fellowship programs.  At its last site visit in 2006, the institution was awarded Continued Accreditation Status and was commended for our efforts to meet accreditation standards of excellence and received the longest accreditation cycle possible - five years until the next site visit.  More than 150 Residents and Fellows are enrolled in our GME Programs. 

 

The UT College of Medicine Chattanooga is directed by a full-time Dean, David C. Seaberg, MD, CPE, FACEP.  In addition, he is assisted by an Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Designated Institutional Official (DIO), Robert C. Fore, EdD, FACME.  A core faculty of approximately 100 paid physicians are joined by some 300 physicians who volunteer their support and represent the major medical and surgical specialties and subspecialties. The chairs of the UT College of Medicine Chattanooga Departments report directly to our Dean and not to the chairs of corresponding departments at the main medical school campus in Memphis.
