The UAB Internal Medicine Residency Training Program is currently comprised of 87 Categorical residents, 20 Primary Care residents, 9 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.

 

LEARNING FOR LIFE

The Women's Health Track is an option available in the Primary Care Track that provides primary care training with an additional focus in women's health. Residents receive gender-specific training that allows the provision of comprehensive health care to women, in addition to a solid foundation in all the traditional aspects of Internal Medicine. A maximum of two Primary Care Track R-1 positions may be accommodated to participate in the Women's Health curriculum per year.

One of the key differences of the Primary Care Track, offered in the Women's Health Track, is a GYN continuity clinic scheduled every other week, alternating with the typical residents' Primary Care Clinic. Approximately 30-50% of the ambulatory block rotation may be spent in women's health areas, including specialty clinics: gynecology, high risk OB, HIV, breast, osteoporosis, continence, STDs, endocrine, cosmetic surgery, and eating  disorders.
