University of Tennessee Program

The University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis offers a 4-year categorical Anesthesiology Residency Program, with three positions available annually. The program focuses on excellent patient care, professionalism, education, and teamwork to develop outstanding perioperative consultants. Residents benefit from a diverse range of experiences, including high-acuity trauma cases, robust regional anesthesia training, high-risk obstetrics, and strong cardiac and pediatric rotations. The curriculum aims to challenge residents and prepare them for successful careers as anesthesiologists.

The program emphasizes a supportive and collaborative environment among residents, fostering strong camaraderie and relationships between residents and attending physicians. With small class sizes, a close-knit work atmosphere has developed, supplemented by group activities outside of work.

Application requirements include a completed Resident application form through the ERAS system, a Dean's letter and medical school transcript, and three letters of recommendation from clinicians who have worked with the applicant in the past two years. The program supports US citizens, permanent residents, or foreign nationals eligible for J-1 visas, but does not sponsor H1-B visas.

Interviews are conducted virtually via Zoom with at least 3 faculty members, along with virtual meet and greets with current residents. Optional information, such as certified copies of additional credentials, can be included in the application. The program's website provides further details and updates regarding the application process, timelines, and contact information for inquiries.
