Located at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, one of the South's premier research universities, the School of Medicine is dedicated to the education of physicians and scientists in all of the disciplines of medicine and biomedical investigation.
The school provides medical education and internship opportunities for students throughout the world. Its comprehensive approach to teaching future physicians covers all facets of medicine, including medical education, research, and patient care -- delivered in one of the most technologically advanced medical facilities in the country. This "institution without walls" has grown from one initial building to a vast university and medical complex stretching over more than 80 city blocks. A long tradition of interdisciplinary research has ensured that the School of Medicine consistently ranks among the leading recipients of National Institutes of Health funding in the Southeast.
