Health Education Services/North Knoxville Medical Center Program
About This Program
Our program boasts a supportive community and family culture. As a small community-based hospital focusing on an underserved rural population, it is our goal to provide the resident with strong roots in primary care. Our program has proven to be welcoming and supportive of a diverse range of cultures, backgrounds, degrees and ages, and will continue to do so with each recruiting class. We focus on resident education by limiting resident teams to no more than 4 per attending.
