THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER, COLLEGE OF MEDCINE - KNOXVILLE
The University of Tennessee College of Medicine – Knoxville (UTCOM-K) was initially established in 1956 as the UT Memorial Research Center and Hospital, which also provided the graduate medical and dental educational (GMDE) and research programs in Knoxville. The GMDE programs collectively became the UT Graduate School of Medicine with the formation of the University of Tennessee Medical Center (UTMC) in 1991, and more recently were renamed the UTCOM-K with the increased emphasis on undergraduate medical education in Knoxville as well as the statewide presence of UTHSC.
The mission of the Knoxville Campus is to advance medical education required to train the next generation of physicians and dentists, deliver comprehensive and compassionate care with our hospital partner, the University of Tennessee Medical Center, and conduct innovative research that is meaningful for patients and their families. Our college provides training for third- and fourth-year Medical Students, second year Physician Assistant Students, as well as Graduate Medical Education for 11 primary residency programs and 17 subspecialty fellowships. UTCOM-K consists of 548 faculty (258 paid), 245 residents and fellows and hosts an average of 40-50 medical students per month. UTCOMK also provides Continuing Medical Education services for faculty, residents and practicing physicians in our region, as well as Advanced Medical Simulation for students, residents, and faculty.
The College of Medicine-Knoxville, in partnership with the UTMC, sponsors extensive translational research in both clinical and laboratory settings. The faculty collaborates with various institutions both regionally and nationally including other UTHSC campuses, UTK, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and other health science center institutions.
About this role
This part-time Associate Professor role centers on leading pediatric clinical education across the University of Tennessee's statewide medical program. You would serve as the Pediatrics Clerkship Director, overseeing curriculum development, student assessment, and faculty teaching quality while coordinating with the Memphis-based Course Director and other clinical leadership. The position demands ongoing engagement with curriculum revision, competency evaluation, and identification of systemic issues—from professionalism concerns to Step II CK performance—with formal annual reporting to senior deans.
The role requires an M.D. or D.O. with board certification in Pediatrics, an active Tennessee license, and at least five years of combined clinical and teaching experience. You would spend significant time in meetings and committee work, including mandatory attendance at Clinical Curriculum Committee sessions and participation in task forces. Success depends on your ability to give constructive feedback to struggling students, develop faculty teaching skills, and synthesize data from multiple sources—course evaluations, licensing exams, resident feedback—into actionable insights.
This position suits someone invested in medical education who can balance direct student mentorship with broader curriculum strategy and administrative collaboration across a multi-campus system. The part-time structure may appeal to clinicians seeking to maintain a teaching role without full-time commitment, though the scope of responsibilities—particularly annual reviews and ongoing curriculum work—suggests meaningful engagement rather than a minimal time investment.
