The majority of our clinical care is provided at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, but our team also extends care to four hospitals within a single geographic area.
 

Section faculty participate in a variety of clinical activities including teaching services at both the Veteran’s Administration (VA) and VUMC, and various consultation, observation, procedural, admission, hospital at home, and care for complex medical patients.
