Recognized as one of the two public medical schools in Tennessee, the other being the University of Tennessee College of Medicine located in Memphis.

History[edit | edit source]

The college has been named in honor of Congressman Jimmy Quillen, who ardently championed the cause for the inauguration of a second public medical school in Tennessee. Initially, it was introduced as the ETSU Quillen-Dishner College of Medicine, but in 1989, Dr. Paul Dishner's name was removed, solidifying its current designation.
