Volunteering with UAB Medicine

UAB Hospital has wonderful volunteer opportunities for students, especially those interested in health careers. By volunteering, you will be a very important part of the success of the hospital and you will also be making a huge difference in the life of another. The Healing Words program is especially popular with students in UAB's Pre-Health program, but students are placed in departments all over the hospital, too.

You can learn more about the many opportunities with UAB Medicine (some even include clowning, animal-assisted care, and photography!) by:
