Mississippi's supportive policy landscape for telemedicine, including services for residents coping with mental illness, has earned the state an overall “A” rating from the American Telemedicine Association in its 2016 state-by-state report card.

Most people are aware that the University of Mississippi Medical Center employs a lot of nurses - almost 2,000 - to provide patient care, but the 20-plus nurses who never see a patient face-to-face may be a surprise.

A physician assistant at UMMC is among 20 hepatologists nationwide to earn an AASLD clinical fellowship; a pair of graduate assistants receive professional opportunity awards; and the Medical Center is counted among the nation's "most wired" health-care facilities.    

The Medical Center is proud to announce the following additions to its faculty and leadership staff.

A number of interesting events is scheduled for the upcoming week at the Medical Center.
