The Department of Medicine (DOM) Communications Team leads strategic communications efforts for the department.

Together, we support departmental operations through positive and professional communications that:

• Provide recognition for all DOM personnel, nurturing an environment that retains our talented people.

• Promote the reputation of the DOM, supporting the recruitment of the best and brightest to work and train here.

We do this work in close partnership with the subject matter experts in our department who drive discovery, deliver life-changing patient care, and develop the healthcare workforce of the future. They are our vital connection to the stories that we strategically leverage to inform and engage our target audiences.

We also collaborate extensively with our creative counterparts in Heersink Communications, the UAB Office of Marketing and Communications and the UAB Health System Marketing Team to coordinate and amplify our messaging.

Specifically, the DOM Communications Team manages all departmental social media (LinkedIn, Instagram, and X), promotes department achievements, and shares current events and highlights in our weekly e-newsletters. We partner with Heersink School of Medicine Shared Services for the management of 20+ department-related web sites.
