The University of Alabama Tuscaloosa Family Medicine Residency Program

We are a 16/16/16 program at The University of Alabama that prepares physicians to improve and promote the health of others.

The University of Alabama Family Medicine Residency is one of the largest and most successful residencies in the southeast. We are the only residency at the 658-bed community hospital that is the referral hospital for West Alabama. We are a 16/16/16 unopposed program with a large, full-time faculty that is assisted by numerous local physician volunteers. We emphasize areas including rural medicine, obstetrics and sports medicine. The residency is operated by The University of Alabama's College of Community Health Sciences, which also functions as a regional campus of the University of Alabama School of Medicine.
