Instructor, Department of Psychiatry<br/> "Before I came to UMMC, I was told that, for some reason, everyone who came ended up staying. Having been here for almost three years now, I can see exactly why people stay. UMMC truly invests in the concept of "bench to bedside" and provides exceptional and innovative health care to the State of Mississippi while training the next generation of health care providers and supporting cutting-edge medical research."
