Internal Medicine Education Foundation, Inc.

The last several years have seen drastic cuts in government funding of graduate medical education. Managed care and TennCare have made it more difficult for hospitals to fund graduate medical education.

The Foundation is becoming more and more important to support the teaching and research activities of our faculty and residents.

Their research presentations at state and national meetings are evidence of the state-of-the-art quality care provided by the University faculty. Recruitment of high quality residents and faculty enhances the medical care available to the residents of Chattanooga. Few cities of Chattanooga's size are able to boast that they have a medical school.

Your tax exempt donation to the Internal Medicine Education Foundation will greatly improve our ability to maintain the quality of our graduate medical education program for our internal medicine residents and help provide Chattanooga with the highest standards of medical and ethical care and the most up-to-date treatments available in modem medicine.
