Special Features
Our curriculum centers on hands-on, high volume clinical experience, supported by close resident-faculty relationships. We encourage residents to pursue what drives them through four optional tracks. Resident feedback critically informs program improvements. Residents finish training ready for independent practice and are accepted to their top choice of fellowship across the US. Birmingham is a great place to live, work and explore with an exceptional mix of outdoor and social activities.
