Heersink School of Medicine, and Dr. Selwyn Vickers' transition to the dual roles of medical school dean and CEO of the UAB Health System and CEO of the UAB/Ascension St. Vincent's Alliance. You'll also learn about innovative research being fostered by the new UAB Immunology Institute; a medical student-developed running program that works with homeless people; and much more.
