Application Process

Applications must be submitted to the University of Alabama at Birmingham Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine through The American Medical College Application Service. Once the initial application has been processed, applicants will be asked about interest in the Primary Care Track on the secondary application.

Students applying for the Primary Care Track must:

  1. Meet all minimum requirements of the regular admission program

  2. Demonstrate an interest in and intent to practice primary care or other community-based speciality

Selected students will interview with the UAB Heersink School of Medicine Admissions Committee in Birmingham and spend a half day in Tuscaloosa learning about the regional campus, talking with students and meeting with members of the Primary Care Track Admissions Advisory Committee.

Students not selected for the Primary Care Track will have their application considered for regular admissions.
