When only the best will do, Physician Leaders choose The University of Tennessee's Physician Executive MBA program's faculty time and again.  They choose the program because its faculty represents a exceptionally talented and able group of scholars and teachers.

Each member of the faculty brings to bear extensive, expert experience in working with Physician Leaders and with executives in all facets of the healthcare business and industry. The UT faculty teach in at least one other executive level program.  Most of the UT faculty have been part of the Physician Executive MBA program since the program started in 1997.  Because all of the adjunct faculty work in the healthcare industry, and since many are M.D.'s, they bring valuable applied healthcare experience to the student.

The faculty developed the program's unique healthcare-focused curriculum so that the Physician Leader will develop a comprehensive knowledge-base of the business of medicine.  Through value-added course content, such as the Organizational Action Plan project and a refreshingly low student to faculty ratio, each Physician Leader is assured of individualized and involved attention from supportive professors.

With 212 physicians in the program to date, the faculty have designed a fully AACSB accredited, one-year-long, state-of-the-art and award winning curriculum for busy Physician Leaders that has proved itself year after year by blending distance education and resident education
