For the first time in two years, UAB Heersink School of Medicine Match Day was held in person. Fourth-year medical students across the country engaged online through social media, sharing where they were matched. While it was impossible to have everyone in the same room at one time, the excitement could still be virtually felt.

On Jul. 1, it will be time for us to say goodbye to our chief general surgery residents who have matched into fellowship programs or private practice. But, it is also time to say hello to our incoming residents from medical schools across the nation.

In an ongoing series, the Department of Surgery will feature incoming and outgoing trainees for all UAB Surgery programs. This week, learn about the General Surgery Residency Program’s 10 new categorical interns.

Hello

Incoming Residents

Goodbye

Five graduating chief residents of the General Surgery Residency Program will leave UAB to take positions in fellowship programs at different institutions in four different states throughout the country. Three chief residents, Alex Abdullayev, M.D., Juan Munoz, M.D., and Rindi Uhlich, M.D. will stay at the UAB Department of Surgery in various fellowships.
