In today’s world of ever-changing requirements for graduate medical education, UAB remains committed to preserving our core values of excellence in medicine: the highest degree of skill and clinical reasoning, the lifelong pursuit of knowledge, and the deepest respect for the patient as a person.

UAB’s residency and fellowship programs are structured to provide a varied clinical experience in inpatient and outpatient settings at four unique hospital sites in Birmingham – UAB Hospital, UAB Highlands, the Birmingham Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and Children’s of Alabama – as well as on our regional campuses in Montgomery, Huntsville, and Tuscaloosa. We also offer a family medicine residency program in Selma in Alabama’s Black Belt.

We are committed to our trainees’ professional and personal growth, including developing their skills as team leaders and teachers, researchers, and critical appraisers of evidence-based literature, and providing them with the skills to become advocates for patient safety and quality care.

ReportIt

Our goal is a learning environment in which every trainee feels valued, safe, and supported. ReportIt is designed to be a confidential system that medical students, faculty, and staff can use to report concerns and commendations. The Heersink School of Medicine takes all submissions via the ReportIt page seriously. Reports are sent to the appropriate member of the administration for follow-up.

Non-Standard Training (NST) Programs

A Non-Standard Training (NST) Program is clinical training for foreign national physicians in advanced subspecialty programs for which there is no Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) accreditation or American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) Member Board certification.
