The UAB Internal Medicine Residency Training Program is currently comprised of 94 Categorical residents, 12 Primary Care residents, 7 Preliminary residents, 16 Medicine-Pediatrics residents, and 4 Chief Medical Residents.  Our program offers two tracks of training through the National Resident Matching Program, with the three-year track providing optional choices for training in the Primary Care or Women's Health Tracks.

Over the past 20 years, an average of 54% of our graduating residents obtained fellowships. Of our 37 residents who graduated in 2004, 21 (57%) entered subspecialty training.  Ten of those entered fellowships at UAB and eleven entered fellowship positions in other outstanding institutions.  Of the ten 2004 graduates who entered private practice, seven stayed in Alabama.  Four of the graduates became Chief Medical Residents.  One graduate became a hospitalist and one had a military obligation to fulfill.
