FAQs

The School and MSHC are NOT located on the main UofM campus. They are housed in the Community Health Building (CHB) located at 4055 North Park Loop, Memphis, TN 38152 on the Park Avenue Campus of the University of Memphis. All classes and on-site assigned clinics are at the CHB.

Orientation will be held at the Community Health Building. The dates are included in the General Timeline. It's important to remember that these dates fall BEFORE classes start at the university, so you'll want to make sure to get here the week before classes begin. The day will be the time when incoming students meet current students and faculty as well as receive information regarding the program, class and clinic schedules and orientation meeting times. We will begin at 9:00 am in the lobby of the Community Health building and will provide breakfast and lunch. Meetings with clinical educators will be scheduled on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. There is also a New Graduate Student Orientation at the University Center on the main campus on Monday. General questions about graduate school will be answered.

Yes. There will be an informal event each evening of orientation to give you the opportunity to better get to know faculty as well as incoming and current students. One of the evening events will be a welcome event. Significant others and children are invited. Smaller events are planned for the other two evenings. These events are not mandatory, but you are encouraged to participate to get to know everyone and help build our community.
Parking for students is available in one of the three lots on the Park Avenue Campus and in close proximity of CHB. All parking is general parking and your UofM hang tag will be required. The small parking lot to the west of CHB is reserved for clients only.
During orientation you will go to the main campus of the university where you will be issued a (free) student ID. This ID will be used to gain access to CHB after hours, enter the clinic, and the student work rooms and mail room.
