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 best medical care to bear for our patients.

UAB is an integral part of Birmingham and the region, and Birmingham is integral to UAB. 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, helping educate physicians in rural and underserved areas of the state.

The School of Medicine has approximately 750 students, 900 residents and 1,300 full-time faculty in 26 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.
