Welcome to the UT Division of Rheumatology

Committed to Excellence

The Division of Rheumatology is part of the Department of Medicine at UT Health Science Center. Teaching hospitals include The Regional Medical Center (The MED) of Shelby County & City of Memphis, Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC), and Methodist University Hospital, all within an 8-block area in downtown Memphis, adjacent to or on the university campus. We are the tertiary care center for the Midsouth region, with referrals from northern Mississippi, eastern Arkansas, Missouri bootheel, and west Tennessee. Although research interests focus on rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma and osteoporosis, faculty rheumatologists see patients with the entire spectrum of rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases, and diseases with rheumatologic and musculoskeletal manifestations. Ambulatory clinics are based at The Medplex associated with The MED, VAMC, and UT Medical Group (the university faculty's practice).
