University of Tennessee College of Medicine Program
About This Program
The UTHSC sleep medicine program serves a massive, multi-state catchment area with a highly diverse patient population. The Sleep Medicine program offers a unique, balanced 50/50 split between pediatric and adult populations. Fellows train exclusively across two distinct clinical environments: Le Bonheur Children's Hospital and the Memphis VA Medical Center. This ensures comprehensive, hands-on clinical training alongside direct access to specialized sleep psychology and structured lectures. Bey
