To expand their career goals, Associates often pursue educational opportunities. Methodist Healthcare supports these efforts of professional growth. We provide tuition reimbursement to Associates who attend various colleges and universities in the Mid-South.

We also offer continuing education classes through our Organizational Development, Continuing Medical Education and Continuing Education for Nurses.

Continuing Medical Education
Accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), Continuing Medical Education Program at Methodist Healthcare offers a wide variety of highly regarded conferences designed to enhance the performance of physicians in all disciplines.

From review conferences specifically designed for the primary care physician to multi-specialty seminars and surgical skills workshops, Methodist's conferences consistently receive high ratings from attendees. For more information on CME courses, visit www.MethodistMD.org.

Methodist Healthcare Continuing Education for Nurses
Methodist Healthcare's Clinical Education Services offers nurses hundreds of hours in continuing education each year. Classes are designed to meet the needs of both the new nurse and the experienced nurse.

Methodist's Continuing Education Department is an approved provider of continuing education in nursing by the Tennessee Nurses Association, which is accredited as an approver of continuing education in nursing by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation.

UTHSC Continuing Education for Nurses
In keeping with the high standards of The University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Nursing, our Continuing Education programs are of the highest quality. Accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation, The College of Nursing endorses the concept of life-long learning for nurses and other healthcare professionals and actively initiates, develops and presents continuing education opportunities for nursing professionals.

If you have specific ideas for Continuing Education opportunities for nurses or have comments, contact Tammy Vaughn, the educational coordinator, by e-mail or by telephone at 901.448.6407.
