About

The Tennessee Medical Education Fund Inc., is an independent, nonprofit 501 (c) 3 corporation, created by the Tennessee Medical Association in 1963 to provide scholarships to medical students in Tennessee medical schools, residents and physicians in medical school or practicing medicine in Tennessee.

TMEF has awarded more than $3 million in scholarships and $75,000 in grants to physicians for continuing education. More information on medical student scholarships can be found at tnmed.org/scholarship.

TMEF also provides annual grants to the John Ingram Institute for Physician Leadership, a specialized professional program developed and managed by the Tennessee Medical Association.
