Comprehensive training with a deep connection to Alabama’s rural communities
Based at Marshall Medical Center South in Boaz and led by UAB Department of Family and Community Medicine faculty, the new 6-6-6 UAB Marshall Family Medicine Residency will prepare physicians to deliver comprehensive care in rural and community-based settings while helping address Alabama’s primary care workforce needs.
Residents will receive full-spectrum family medicine training, including outpatient and inpatient care, community-based experiences, and opportunities to care for patients across all stages of life. Community engagement is integrated into the curriculum, with additional opportunities to participate in local events and outreach. Training includes a longitudinal point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) curriculum, with hands-on training in clinic, inpatient, and procedural settings to enhance diagnostic accuracy and procedural skills. The program will also offer specialized learning opportunities, including advanced obstetrics training and optional sideline sports coverage
In addition to a continuity clinic located within Marshall Medical Center South, residents will also train at Marshall Medical Center North in Guntersville for a broader range of clinical experiences.
