615-343-0473 / 6153430473

It is the cardiology unit for the surgery dept.

The person calling posed as the IRS and threatened legal action if I didn't respond immediately

This is a legit number. Many doctors through Vanderbilt have this type of prefix. Its to schedule appts, referrals, etc

It's Vanderbilt University

Have several unanswered calls with no message from this number. Previous post states it's Vanderbilt. Thanks, that makes sense. I am an alum of VU A&S and VUMS.

All outbound calls from Vanderbilt University's main campus use this trunk line.

I had my briefcase stolen on christmas day with my checkbook, and forged checks having been passed with this number written on the checks and variations of this # 343-0743 343-0762

Mysterious calls from Vanderbilt University Trunk Line are not mysterious. The 615-343-0473 telephone number along with several other combinations are know as a generic phone number that displays on all caller ID systems when a call is received from Vanderbilt University. There is no way to tell the exact location of the phone the call came from. Unless there is some type of communication coming from a person calling from Vanderbilt, which would lead you to believe that a crime has been or is about to be committed, it would be safe to say that you could disregard the calls as a wrong number. If something is said that leads you to believe that the caller is a harassing or threatening caller you should report the calls to the University Police.

The phone number shows up when someone calls you from the hospital, as well as the university. Some offices within the hospital (Hillsboro Medical Group) for example, have their own trunk line that shows up, but 343-0473 is the "default, everyone falls on it" trunk. I see it show up when anyone calls me from the campus, including for appointment reminders.

Got a call from someone who would not identify herself but wanted my email address.
