Cynthia McClain Pearman, MD
Hospice and Palliative Care Physician, Medical Director
I love riding bikes, hiking, nature, and the Great Smoky Mountains!
I started working at UT Medical Center while still a pre-med undergraduate at UTK. I worked as a family physician for over two decades, including faculty teaching positions in SC, NC, and here at UTMCK. Since 2016 I have practiced hospice and palliative medicine full time, fulfilling a dream that started when I was in college. Outside of work, you can find me riding a bike, hiking, bird-watching, or spending time with family.
