As a teaching facility, we offer a wide range of services with the most up-to-date trends in family medicine. We specialize in complete medical care for all patients, regardless of age, race, or medical complaint. We treat the whole lifespan, the whole family, the whole community. From the Chair The University of South Alabama Department of Family Medicine is approximately 30 miles away from the Gulf of Mexico (thus in little danger of being pushed into the Gulf by a hurricane but close enough to get wet easily).

I have an interest in population-based health, and we have extensive community medicine experiences within the residency program. Additionally, we have taken on improving the care of the citizens of Alabama as a mission. To this end, we try to give preference to those residency candidates who express a desire to stay...
