Mission

Cahaba Medical Care is a community-based healthcare organization that aims to follow Christ in becoming an incarnation of love, peace, and justice for our patients on their journey towards physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being, as well as being a center for transformational primary care training in underserved areas by modeling and exhorting the next generation of medical professionals in a career of excellence, conscientiousness, and compassion.

Our mission statement flows from our affirmation that our purpose is to love God and show His glory by walking in the steps of Jesus and ministering the love of Christ.

The Premise Is Different

Cahaba-UAB Family Medicine Residency is an unopposed, community-based family medicine training program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) with Osteopathic recognition.

Our family medicine clinic (Cahaba Medical Care) is the sponsoring institution for the program. CMC is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and Alabama's only Teaching Health Center, which means it receives funding for providing care to uninsured patients while simultaneously housing a residency program. CMC has been a certified Patient Centered Medical Home since 2010. The program has four distinct tracks located in rural parts of the state (Centreville and Marion/Camden, Alabama), as well as an urban underserved part of the state (West End, Birmingham, Alabama).
