2023 Department of Pediatrics Academic Annual Report

UAB Pediatrics By The Numbers

are working to make this a reality. Our care and our academic achievements simply would not be possible without the physicians, nurses and staff who bring their talents and passion to the care of children every day from everywhere in the state, the region and the nation. This coming year, we will continue to grow our subspecialty expertise, our research strength and our advocacy efforts. We have also strengthened our resident scholar programs for those interested in pediatric education, rural health, global health and health equity. We have begun a third cohort of our a mini-medical school, a curriculum for middle school students to increase the pipeline for those traditionally underrepresented in medicine and STEM careers. And, in 2023, we launched several new efforts in global health, including the recruitment of Dr. Stephen Obaro, who leads the International Foundation Against Infectious Disease in Nigeria (IFAIN). I am very hopeful that 2024 will be the best year ever. Please know that one thing always remains in focus: our commitment to serving the patients and families who look to us for healing and hope. Thank you for being part of that most worthy endeavor.
