uab school of medicine
At UAB, we're training the next generation of physicians and
physician-scientists, answering basic scientific questions that lead to medical
innovations, and bringing the highest quality health care to all of our
patients. UAB is the heartbeat of Birmingham and an integral medical leader in
the Southeast. The Birmingham campus is within walking distance of some of the
best parks, entertainment, and dining in the region. Our regional campuses—in
Huntsville, Montgomery and Tuscaloosa—expand our academic reach and
responsibilities in addition to educating physicians in rural and underserved
areas of the state. Our school is made up of nearly 800 students, more than
1,000 residents, and 1,400 full-time faculty in 27 academic departments. We are
the home of The Kirklin Clinic, a multi-disciplinary medical home; University
Hospital, one of the largest academic hospitals in the country; and our faculty
serve the Children's of Alabama hospital.
