A student friendly medical college: small class sizes, a relaxed environment & hands on, innovative teaching...just a few unique #QuillenFamily traits .
Set in the mountains of East Tennessee, Quillen College of Medicine provides a unique community to educate future physicians. The average class size of 72 provides a family like atmosphere. The technological advances in our anatomy teaching lab, human patient simulator lab and our standardized patient encounter rooms provide unique teaching environments with hands, integrated learning experiences. We are proud of our reputation to produce primary care physicians to rural areas and are nationally ranked for doing so. Our optional rural track curriculum provides a physician with the tools to practice in rural areas lacking many modern technological advances; from rural Tennessee to the isolated outback of Australia, our #QuillenFamily has been prepared for almost any practice environment.
The primary mission of the Quillen College of Medicine is to educate future physicians, especially those with an interest in primary care, to practice in underserved rural communities. In addition, the College is committed to excellence in biomedical research and is dedicated to the improvement of health care in Northeast Tennessee and the surrounding Appalachian Region.
