About the Division/College/School
The College of Community Health Sciences (CCHS) was founded in 1972
by William Willard, MD, author of the "Willard Report" and
considered the "Father of Family Medicine," with a mandate to train
family physicians for Alabama, particularly its rural areas. The
College also provides medical student education as the Tuscaloosa
Regional Campus of the four-campus University of Alabama School of
Medicine, based at UAB in Birmingham. The College's mission focuses
on improving the health of individuals and communities in Alabama
and the region through leadership in medical education and primary
care; the provision of high-quality, accessible health care
services; and scholarship.
CCHS is sponsor of the UA Family Medicine Residency and seven
fellowships for family physicians. The Residency, a 16-16-16
program now in its 45th year, is the second largest family medicine
residency in the country. Of the more than 470 Residency graduates,
85% practice in the five-state area of the Southeast, with half in
rural areas, and comprise 1 of 7 family physicians practicing in
Alabama. Nearly 900 medical students have completed their clinical
training at the College since 1974, entering Family Medicine and
primary care careers at more than twice the national average.
The College's nationally recognized Rural Pipeline Programs and the
Institute for Rural Health Research, along with basic sciences,
social sciences, and health professional faculty and resources on
the UA campus and innumerable specialty and medical research
faculty among the School of Medicine faculty, create a uniquely
resource-rich environment for a medical educator. The College's
clinical enterprise also conducts 150,000 ambulatory visits and
more than 10,000 admissions a year to a broad patient population,
including UA faculty and staff and the general population of West
