Bristol is a beautiful community nestled in the southern Appalachians. We're the only full-time residency in town. We emphasize rural/small town practice, and our diverse faculty have interests that include end-of-life care, EBM, sports medicine, international medicine, ethics, child physical and sexual abuse evaluation, special-needs pediatric care, and medical humanities. Residents train within modern, state-of-the-art facilities.
