Residency Training
Training future neurologists and neurosurgeons has been, and continues to be, a top priority for Semmes Murphey. Our partnership with the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) dates back to 1932 when Dr. Semmes became the first Professor of Neurosurgery at the University.

Medical Students
Visiting rotations are available for medical students and prospective resident applicants. We have unlimited slots available from August to January.
If you are interested in a neurosurgical rotation at our institution, contact the advisor of your home institution for assistance applying via the Visiting Student Learning Opportunities (VSLO) Program (formerly VSAS).
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting restrictions for Sub-Is this year, the UTHSC Neurosurgery Residency Program will plan to offer virtual opportunities for prospective resident applicants to learn more about our program. This includes virtual involvement in resident conferences and grand rounds, as well as other upcoming virtual activities for those interested in applying to our residency.
