Undergrad Student Programs

 

Cahaba Medical Care’s Undergraduate Programs offer a unique opportunity for pre-medical students or recent graduates to gain hands-on clinical experience, engage in meaningful research, and participate in community service. Most importantly, come experience an intentional Christian community in an underserved area and discover what life and connection can look like in this setting.

As family goes, so goes our communities. As our communities go, so goes our society.
— John M. Perkins
