Our 750-plus inpatient and ambulatory APPs work alongside world-renowned physicians and a host of dedicated care team members to deliver on our mission of providing compassionate, high-quality care.

You’re empowered to lead and put patients first. Your creativity, innovation, and know-how are seen as essential contributions to helping deliver best-in-class health care. You’ll also participate in research and develop best practices to drive innovation and improvement, both at UAB Medicine and across the APP community.
