COVID-19 Campus Update

Welcome back to campus! As we begin this new semester, the UT Health Science Center continues to closely follow the changing CDC guidelines as we monitor the record surge that the Omicron variant is having on the number of cases around our campuses. Please review UTHSC's latest COVID-19 guidelines, which include an indoor mask requirement and social distancing.

COVID-19 Testing Site Opens

UTHSC and University Clinical Health (UCH) have opened a drive-through COVID-19 testing site on the Memphis campus at the Van Vleet Building, 3 N. Dunlap St. The site is open to the public and offers COVID-19 testing Monday – Friday, 9:00 am – 4:00 pm. No appointments are necessary. Please bring identification showing proof of residency and proof of insurance, if available.

Volunteers Needed for COVID-19 Testing Site

University Clinical Health is in need of volunteers for their drive-through COVID-19 testing on the Memphis campus. Volunteers do not need to be clinically trained to act as a “collector” – training will be provided onsite upon arrival.

Sign up for volunteer shifts on GivePulse. Please note that testing will take place outside. We encourage volunteers to monitor the weather and dress accordingly.
