About
The Alabama Museum of the Health Sciences, at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, supports UAB and broader communities through the stewardship of health sciences' objects and histories, with an emphasis on Alabama, and through educational opportunities, engaging exhibitions, and thoughtful collecting. The scope of the collection includes, but is not limited to, the following fields: medicine, nursing, ophthalmology, dentistry, public health and allied health.
Exhibits
“House Calls to Hospitals” examines the evolution of access to American health care, from horse-and-buggy doctors to telehealth providers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Changes in transportation, communication, and technology have shaped the experiences of patients and practitioners alike. UAB Historical Collections invites you to explore these changes through the experiences of midwives, pioneering surgeons, Jim Crow-era doctors, and more.
