Urologist

Two premier health systems in the state of Alabama, UAB Medicine and Infirmary Health, have come together to improve patient outcomes for our state by developing a Department of Urology/ Urologic Oncology as part of the comprehensive Academic partnership agreement. Infirmary Health has been delivering high-quality healthcare for over 110 years and is the largest integrated, not-for-profit, non-governmental healthcare system in Alabama and along the Central Gulf Coast. The system sees 1.5 million patient visits each year and has nearly 60 percent of the healthcare market share in the two primary counties it serves. At present, Infirmary Health does not have any Urologists in its multi-specialty physician group. The goal is to recruit 4-6 Urologists under the leadership of a newly recruited Chief of Urology. The complement of recruited Physicians will have General Urologists, Cancer Urologists, and other Urologic subspecialties needed for Infirmary Health. The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) is a research university and academic health center that discovers, teaches, and applies knowledge for the intellectual, cultural, social, and economic benefit of Birmingham, the state, and beyond. UAB is internationally renowned for its intensely collaborative culture that has — for more than five decades — produced breakthroughs in education, health care, research, and service. This position is located in Mobile, AL at Infirmary Cancer Care, an affiliate of UAB O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center. Currently, the program comprises 6 Medical Oncologists, 3 Radiation Oncologists, and 3 Complex General Surgical Oncologists, 2 Breast Surgeons, 2 Thoracic Surgeons, 2 Colorectal Surgeons that provide care at 2 multi-disciplinary cancer centers and 3 additional clinic spaces. For the relevant Physicians, membership in the O'Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center at UAB will be available in addition to the appointment in the Department of Urology, further enriches the role, facilitating access to leading-edge research, clinical trials, as well as opportunities for Clinical/ Translational Research. Candidates will be offered competitive compensation based on MGMA benchmarks. Mobile is a historic, mid-sized city located 30 minutes from the white sand beaches of the Alabama Gulf Coast, one hour from Pensacola, Florida and two and a half hours from New Orleans, Louisiana. The area is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy water sports, camping, golf, hunting, fishing, boating, or cycling. Affordable cost of living and excellent schools makes the area ideal for those seeking a family-friendly environment. Board certified Urologists and those completing fellowships & practicing physicians with clinical or academic experience are encouraged to apply. Responsibilities and Requirements
