The University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) last month graduated 698 health care professionals during six different graduation ceremonies.

This year’s graduating class includes 68 African-Americans, 12 Latino-Americans, and 145 graduates who came from out of state to study at UTHSC.  In addition, this graduating class comprises 410 women and 288 men. Additionally, 26 of the out-of-state dentistry graduates are Arkansans.   A number of Arkansas students come to Tennessee to train as dentists because their state has no dental college
