Welcome to UAB Pediatrics!

A pediatric residency is designed to build the foundation for a rewarding and successful career in pediatrics. Patients, co-residents, and faculty are the crucial aspects that make a great experience when choosing a program. The Pediatric Residency Program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) is a resident-driven program that provides diverse general pediatric training in a state-of-the-art pediatric hospital, Children’s of Alabama. During their training, residents explore every aspect of pediatrics — inpatient, primary care, critical care medicine, and every subspecialty. Providing extensive, hands-on experience results in superbly trained pediatricians and allows graduates to be confident in their decisions. Each year, residents say the biggest strength of our program is the people. A family atmosphere among residents and faculty makes for a tremendous work environment. While a pediatric residency is challenging, the UAB Pediatric Residency Program prepares residents for success: both within your time at UAB and in your future career.
