Clinician administrators also have leadership roles in the Department of Medicine and UAB Medicine.

Among the ranks, 20 have served as Chief Medical Resident, one as Medicine-Pediatrics Chief Resident, and 14 have advanced training in academic general internal medicine, addiction medicine, ethics, medical education, or quality and safety.
