When Society member Balaji Krishnaiah, MD arrived in Memphis in 2017 for a one-year stroke fellowship, he never imagined he would still be here a decade later guiding Memphis' next generation of neurologists.

“My goal was one year of fellowship and then I’m out of here,” he recalled. “That’s what I promised my wife.” Instead, Memphis changed the trajectory of his career and, ultimately, his mission.

Today, Dr. Krishnaiah serves as Vice Chair of Education for the Department of Neurology, Stroke Division Chief, Neurology Residency Program Director, and Associate Professor at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, overseeing an education and training pipeline addressing the region’s neurologist shortage.

At the center of that effort is a philosophy focused on training local talent early, investing in them consistently, and creating reasons for them to stay. “We need to invest in the pipeline,” Dr. Krishnaiah emphasized. “Our success is from investing in the people within the community.”

‘The way medicine is practiced these days’: Outpatient surgery centers keep growing as patients seek same-day care-

Clint Cummins, CEO of the Memphis Medical Society, said he and colleagues will work with the Tennessee Medical Association to lobby state and federal officials on reimbursement rates in upcoming legislative sessions.

Employers are also feeling the pinch as health insurance costs keep rising, Cummins said. And broadly, reimbursements are trending in the wrong direction, he said.

“There’s some facts and figures out there that basically say when you adjust for inflation, physicians are down 30% over the last 25 years on their reimbursement levels,” Cummins said. “And so we’re constantly trying to get those increased where we can.”
