The department consists of over 50 full-time faculty, numerous adjunct/clinical faculty, several staff and support personnel.
The Hematology/Oncology Division is an affiliate of St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. This specialty division provides the latest cancer treatment based on clinical research studies from St. Jude.
The Neonatology Division is the nucleus of Northeast Tennessee's Regional Perinatal Center. We service high risk pregnancies and offer premature newborn care for eight counties in Upper East Tennessee, as well as ten counties in Southwest Virginia, North Carolina and Kentucky.
The in-patient hospital care is provided at Niswonger Children's Hospital, Johnson City Medical Center/Ballad Health for pediatric emergency room, in-hospital, critical care, neonatology, and St. Jude hematology/oncology rotations.
