Our department’s mission is to develop leaders to shape tomorrow’s health care. In order to do this, we must extend our efforts beyond the walls of the classroom and beyond graduation. Through unique programming and opportunities like the one listed below, we will make a difference in the lives of our students and alumni.

• UAB Health Equity Leadership Academy: a two-week program, dedicated to increasing the number of students from challenging backgrounds – such as first-generation college students or those from rural environments – who apply and are admitted to HSA graduate programs.

Alumni and Student Success

• Women’s Leadership Initiative: provides programming to advance future leaders in the health care field, mentoring efforts, student and alumni professional development opportunities, and supports scholarships
