UAB’s General Surgery Residency Program provides residents with clinical experience at a high-volume, level-one hospital. Residents’ training is enhanced with many unique opportunities to develop as a surgeon and an academic physician, including research participation, extensive robotic surgery training, international training opportunities, and more.
Training takes place across five facilities in downtown Birmingham as part of the UAB Medical Center District: University Hospital, The Kirklin Clinic, the Birmingham Veterans Administration Medical Center, Children’s Hospital of Alabama and UAB Highlands Hospital.
