UAB Huntsville Regional Medical Campus, circa 1996

UAB assumed administrative responsibility of the School of Primary Medical Care at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) on October 1, 1995, and the UAB School of Medicine Huntsville Program was established.  The UAH school was founded in 1971 and had long been affiliated with the medical school in Birmingham before its acquisition by UAB and had served as a site of clinical training for medical students since 1974.  Today, the UAB Huntsville Regional Medical Campus is one of the four campuses of the UAB Heersink School of Medicine and is under the direction of a regional dean.  It is home to Family Medicine and Internal Medicine residency programs and hosts 130 medical students and residents.  It is also home of the Sparks Medical Library, a component of the UAB Libraries.  A new facility, the primary clinical and academic space for the Huntsville regional campus, was completed in 2003.
