While some residents do have undergraduate teacher training prior to the residency, others do not and become a certified teacher at the end of the residency year. Graduating the program, residents agree to teach in Memphis high needs schools for three additional years. MTR Camp: MTR Camp was founded in 2013 to address systemic summer academic.
