Hey, there— We’re glad you found us.
Standing by our husbands. Striving with our sisters. Walking with our Lord.
Who we are
Side By Side- Knoxville is a faith-based community group for women married to medical and dental students, residents, fellows, and attendings.
Affiliated with the Christian Medical & Dental Associations, we are one of 96 Side By Side chapters in the United States.
We exist to offer friendship, support, and encouragement through Bible studies, social events, and prayer. We know the Medical Life isn’t always easy, but it is much more fun when you have friends to share it with. Come join us!
Why Side By Side Knoxville?
The Medical Life is messy and weird. We get it.
Let’s be honest. It is exhausting to move every few years with a spouse on the medical journey from school to residency to fellowship to that first job done with training. Each transition to a new city far from family and friends re-surfaces feelings of isolation and loneliness.
But, you aren’t alone. This community is ready and waiting to welcome you with open arms.
What we offer
SBS Knoxville is an outreach ministry. We focus on God, our marriages, and supporting each other. We come from various denominations, yet find unity through the common bond and shared experience of a medical or dental marriage.
