Grant Carlson, DO
Instructor
Dr. Grant Carlson grew up in small-town Winona Lake, IN and completed his undergraduate studies at Grace College and Theological Seminary. Following undergrad he worked in clinical research for the sports medicine, extremities, and trauma departments of a locally headquartered orthopaedic company. He then moved to Buies Creek, NC where he attended Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine – home of the Fighting Camels. During medical school he travelled back to Indiana for a wedding and met his wife, Megan. They got married in 2021 and moved to Tennessee just a year later when he matched with the University of Tennessee Nashville – Family Medicine Residency. During residency he served as the chief resident and completed an incredible 3 years in 2025.
As the newest faculty member, Dr. Carlson looks forward to the opportunity to be involved in both inpatient and outpatient care, resident education, and improving the health literacy of our patients. Outside of work he enjoy spending time with his wife, ultimate frisbee, pickleball, rucking, as well as watching both collegiate (Purdue) and professional sports. Dr. Carlson and his wife Megan have 2 cats that they adopted his intern year – Mack and Finn – and they hope to grow their family with 4 puppy paws after they close on our house in August 2025.
