MMS CEO, Clint Cummins, MHA, spoke at Resident Orientation this year, welcoming and congratulating them on the beginning of their residency program.
He also assured them that the best is yet to come. Specifically the resident welcoming party that MMS was hosting in their honor that evening.
New residents, as well as practicing physicians and the MMS board of directors, gathered at Grind City Brewing in downtown Memphis. With views overlooking the pyramid, river and downtown skyline, it was the perfect Memphis setting. Along with brews from Grind City Brewing, the food truck Authentic Toast provided delicious fare for everyone.
“While we have hosted these welcoming events for several years now, it is always exciting to see new faces to Memphis and to be a part of their excitement for this next stage in their careers,” says Cummins. “A special thanks to SVMIC and MedTemps, who each sponsored this event. Without sponsors like these two, we wouldn’t be able to host such wonderful events for our members.”

Each August brings a new medical school class to Memphis. While some are from Memphis, many are new to town. Knowing this, MMS hosts a dinner each year to welcome the incoming class in partnership with UTHSC, which gave students their first stethoscope as part of the celebration.
This year’s event was held at 409 South Main with catering from Pete & Sam’s. Sponsored by MedTemps, the event drew the full incoming class.
UTHSC administration and MMS board members were on hand to greet students, answer questions and provide perspectives on practicing medicine in Memphis.
“We thank Memphis Medical Society for hosting this event for our students each year,” said Catherine Womack, M.D., Associate Dean of Student Affairs and Admissions at UTHSC and MMS board member. “The students always enjoy it, and it’s such a fun addition to their orientation week.”
