More than 1,200 interns, residents and fellows train in every medical specialty at UAB in Birmingham, at our regional campuses in Montgomery, Huntsville and Tuscaloosa, and in our program in Selma.
In an ongoing series, the Department of Surgery will feature incoming and outgoing trainees for all UAB Surgery programs. This time, learn about the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons Endocrine Surgery Fellowship at UAB, its newest fellow, Jessica Fazendin, M.D., and its recently graduated fellow, Sophie Dream, M.D.
