The Montgomery Internal Medicine Residency Program provides high-caliber graduate medical education for trainees seeking diverse clinical experiences in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and in subspecialty and general medicine services.
Residents practice in a rich training environment and are exposed to a diverse patient population in a variety of practice settings. Our primary teaching hospital, Baptist Medical Center South, is a community-based facility with nationally-recognized cardiology, cancer and stroke services. Our residents treat patients in the UAB Montgomery Internal Medicine Clinic, offering continuity of care for patients seeking hospital follow ups.
Our growing preliminary year program provides trainees with great foundation in general medicine and prepares them to take the next steps in their medical career. With the exception of continuity clinic, our preliminary interns receive the same level of rigorous training as our categorical interns.
We endeavor to find the perfect balance between resident autonomy and faculty supervision for our residents to become competent, compassionate and independent physicians. Our goal is to graduate outstanding physicians with a love of life-long learning and the tools to continue learning for life.
Our program is designed to train general internal medicine specialists and those who wish to pursue subspecialty training in a community-based, clinically oriented setting. Our curriculum and didactic activities establish objectives, teaching methods and evaluation of clinical methods that prepare our residents to be successful clinicians, scientists and educators.
