The UAB Women’s Health Track (WHT) was established in 1999 by Co-Founders, Drs. Teresa Bryan and Emily Boohaker for residents who have a strong interest in providing services that are unique to women in the Primary Care setting.

Our Mission

The UAB WHT mission is to equip resident physicians to provide Women’s Health Care in the ambulatory setting through clinical experiences, structured curricula and robust mentorship.

What can residents expect?

Interested?

The Women's Health Track at UAB is a post-match option for interested residents. Residents will not officially join the track until their second year. Interns interested in the Women's Heath Track will be invited to participate in mentoring activities during their first year. Space is limited in the VA Women's Clinic experience that begins during the R2 year. In the event of more interest than there is space available, there will be a selection process that occurs during the second half of the intern year to award full membership in the track.

Please contact faculty and residents listed below for more information. Applicants who are selected for interview are encouraged to notify the residency program that they are considering the Women’s Health Track. We will make every attempt for those residents to interview with Women’s Health faculty and meet with the residents.
