The College of Medicine traces its roots to 1851 and has operated under the University of Tennessee Health Science Center since UT's health professions programs were consolidated in Memphis in the mid-20th century. It is the largest of the six colleges at UTHSC and the primary source of physicians serving Tennessee, particularly rural and underserved areas of the Mid-South region.
