Urologist

Two premier health systems in the state of

Alabama, UAB Medicine and Infirmary Health, have come together to

improve patient outcomes for our state by developing a Department

of Urology / Urologic Oncology as part of the comprehensive Academic

partnership agreement.

Infirmary Health has been

delivering high-quality healthcare for over 110 years and is the

largest integrated, not-for-profit, non-governmental healthcare

system in Alabama and along the Central Gulf Coast. The system sees

1.5 million patient visits each year and has nearly 60 percent of

the healthcare market share in the two primary counties it serves.

With four hospitals, an employed multi-specialty group that

includes 230 physicians and over 30 outpatient facilities,

Infirmary Health is a leading healthcare provider in Alabama.

At present, Infirmary Health does not have any

Urologists in its multi-specialty physician group. The goal is to

recruit 4-6 Urologists under the leadership of a newly recruited

Chief of Urology. The complement of recruited Physicians will have

General Urologists, Cancer Urologists, and other Urologic

subspecialties needed for Infirmary Health. The Physicians will be

jointly recruited by UAB Department of Urology in the Heersink

School of Medicine and Infirmary Health.

The University

of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) is a research university and

academic health center that discovers, teaches, and applies

knowledge for the intellectual, cultural, social, and economic

benefit of Birmingham, the state, and beyond. UAB is

internationally renowned for its intensely collaborative culture

that has — for more than five decades — produced breakthroughs in

education, health care, research, and service. UAB was ranked #1 in

the United States, and in the top 10 worldwide, in the Times Higher

Education World University Rankings, 2018 Young University

Rankings. As part of the UAB Health System, UAB Medicine is one of

the nation's largest academic medical centers with more

than 18,000 employees. UAB Medicine's flagship facility is

the 1,207-bed UAB Hospital, one of the nation’s largest public

hospitals. It includes the UAB Women & Infants Center, Spain

Rehabilitation Center, the Center for Psychiatric Medicine, and the

freestanding UAB Hospital-Highlands. In addition to UAB Hospital,

UAB Medicine also includes The Kirklin Clinic of UAB Hospital, UAB

Callahan Eye Hospital, as well as several primary and specialty

care clinics and a dozen affiliate health systems within Alabama.

This position is located in Mobile, AL at Infirmary

Cancer Care, an affiliate of UAB O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer

Center. Currently, the program comprises 6 Medical

Oncologists, 3 Radiation Oncologists, and 3 Complex General

Surgical Oncologists, 2 Breast Surgeons, 2 Thoracic Surgeons, 2

Colorectal Surgeons that provide care at 2 multi-disciplinary

cancer centers and 3 additional clinic spaces. This is a

non-tenure earning, full clinical position within the Department of

Urology at the UAB Heersink School of Medicine with employment

through University of Alabama Health System Foundation.

For the relevant Physicians, membership in the

O'Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center at UAB will be available

in addition to the appointment in the Department of Urology,

further enriches the role, facilitating access to leading-edge

research, clinical trials, as well as opportunities for Clinical /

Translational Research. Candidates will be offered competitive
