Shoutout to our incredible Program Coordinators - Genia, Alison, and Jeremy - the true heroes behind the scenes! 
 
They juggle schedules, soothe crises, wrangle residents, and somehow keep the whole place running with a smile. Some might even say their job description borders on chaos coordinator and cat herder...and honestly, we couldn’t describe them better. 
 
Thank you for keeping us organized, supported, and laughing every day! Our program wouldn’t be the same without your magic!

A little late to the feed, but too good not to share!!  
 
Back in November of 2025, students from the UAB Heersink School of Medicine came together to celebrate faculty excellence at the annual Argus Awards Ceremony. This tradition honors the educators who shape the future of medicine, with every award determined entirely by student nominations and votes. 
 
UABSOM medical students in the Primary Care Track are housed here at the Tuscaloosa Regional Campus during their 3rd and 4th years, and we’re especially proud that they recognized two of our own with top honors this year. 
 
🏆 Dr. Justine Vella – Best Resident Educator (PGY‑3)  
🏆 Dr. Bliss Wright – Best Clinical Educator  (Faculty)
 
Congratulations Dr. Vella and Dr. Wright! Thank you for your dedication and the impact you make on every student who trains with us!
