Cahaba-UAB Family Medicine Residency - Urban Track

We try to set the residency up so that residents aren't just in training. They're doing mission trips every day. They're serving folks who are in tough spots. Loving folks who are perhaps running low on love. We're really trying to be Christ's ambassadors. Jesus really is the reason behind what we do every day. We very much value one another and being in each other's lives. So most of us live near one another and near our patients.

Our residents go overseas 3 times during residency, and this is really a time for them to connect with what God is doing around the world in Great Commission work. This is all in the context of truly full spectrum care in an under-served context in which our residents are expected to be excellent at the full breadth of family medicine. We hope that, as in Jeremiah, we can see the Lord bring about the welfare of our community.

Our residency is an outgrowth of a missional community that seeks to follow in Jesus' footsteps as we care for one another, our neighbors, and strangers locally and internationally.

Working toward the Great Commandment and Great Commission., living near one another and our patients, being in community together, doing residency training.

Please join the residents of Cahaba UAB FMR for a virtual Q&A session on Thursday, 8/5 from 5:30pm - 7pm (CST). This is a great time to meet more residents and learn more about the program.

Why should a Christian student apply to your program?

Because they don't believe there is some future mission field that is more important than, today, walking in the fellowship of believers being transformed day by day into one degree of Christ's glory to another. We hope for anyone who joins our community to experience a community striving to grow in fidelity to the communities birthed by Jesus and planted by Paul, etc. in the New Testament.

Do you accept/sponsor visas for international students or medical schools?

We currently do not.
