Our Location

Learn within a Healthcare Hub

Beyond the VUSM classroom, our students learn within the clinical spaces of Vanderbilt University Medical Center, a top-ranked academic medical center and research powerhouse located in Nashville, one of the nation’s fastest-growing healthcare hubs. 

I chose Vandy because of the emphasis on wellness and how genuinely happy and excited the students, faculty, and staff were. No matter where you’re from, you can find a community here.
