Like many summers for the Medical Alumni Association, this one kept us busy as we prepared for the new academic year. In July, we welcomed the new medical students during their orientation fair, where we shared with them the importance of being a member of our Student Alumni Association and the benefits associated with membership. We also hosted them and their families at one of Birmingham’s most popular spots, Regions Field, for a Barons game. I am looking forward to what this year will hold for our student programs.

I am equally excited about this year’s Medical Alumni Weekend. Please mark March 9-10, 2018, on your calendars. The class of 1968 will celebrate their 50th reunion, and the classes with years ending in 3 and 8 will meet for their class reunion dinners. If you are a member of these special groups, please watch and listen for more information so you don’t miss the opportunity to see your classmates. The CME topic for this year’s weekend will focus on precision medicine and IT security.

This issue of Informal Rounds will take a closer look at our students, featuring highlights on our welcome event, the White Coat Ceremony, entering class statistics, recipients of MAA scholarships, and much more. For those of you who have been out of medical school a few years, like me, it is eye opening to see everything these students are involved with while pursuing careers in medicine.

October 1 marked the new fiscal year. It is important we remember the impact our annual $100 dues make on the MAA and the programs it supports. At the beginning of October, our annual dues campaign landed in your mailbox or email inbox. Please take a moment to complete the form and send in your dues.

Sincerely,

Timothy P. Hecker, M.D. ’04

MS1 WELCOME EVENT

For the third year in a row, the Medical Alumni Association welcomed

first-year medical students and their families for a pre-White Coat Cere-

mony evening of fun at Regions Field as the Birmingham Barons played

the Chattanooga Lookouts. With 350 guests, this event was once again

successful in providing a lively setting for students to get to know each

other and celebrate the start of medical school.

The event featured a full meal and a door prize drawing for students

who joined the Student Alumni Association. Door prizes donated by

local vendors spotlight popular Birmingham and Alabama attractions to

students who are new to the area, including the Alabama Shakespeare

Festival in Montgomery, the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville,

and the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute.

WHITE COAT CEREMONY

On Sunday, August 13, the incoming class of medical students gathered

at the Alys Stephens Center to officially receive their new white coats,

provided by the Medical Alumni Association. This year a reception

honoring Legacy Families of the School of Medicine and the Martha

Myers Role Model Award Winners was held prior to the White Coat

Ceremony in the Abroms Patrons Lounge at the Alys Stephens Center.

A NEW BEGINNINGWHITE COAT WEEKEND WELCOMES THE INCOMING CLASS OF MEDICAL STUDENTS

3

For the entering class of 2021, there were 21 legacy families identified and invited to attend.

MAA President Tim Hecker welcomed all in attendance and expressed how important it is to the

Medical Alumni Association to recognize the value of our Legacy families and the accomplish-

ments of the students and alumni who are a part of that special group.

The White Coat Ceremony was developed in the 1990s by the Arnold P. Gold Foundation as a way

for medical schools to formally welcome new students into the medical profession and emphasize

the importance of compassion in medicine as well as scientific proficiency. Leaders from the School

of Medicine were seated on stage, while leaders from each of the school’s regional campuses in

Huntsville, Tuscaloosa, and Montgomery stood ready to help students don their white coats.

Selwyn M. Vickers, M.D., FACS, senior vice president for medicine and dean of the School of

Medicine, welcomed the students before introducing Christina Grabowski, Ph.D., the school’s new

associate dean for admissions and enrollment management (learn more on page 10). Dr. Grabowski

shared interesting facts about the Class of 2021 (see page 8) and highlighted some class members’

unique talents, including several musicians, an acapella choir singer, a documentary filmmaker, a

playwright, and even a trapeze artist.

Lisa L. Willett, M.D., the 2016 faculty recipient

of the Leonard Tow Award for Humanism in

Medicine and director of the Tinsley Harrison

Internal Medicine Residency, presented the

keynote address. “A transformation is about to

occur, and many things will change in your life,”

Willett told the class of 2021. “You’ll begin to

speak a new language. You’ll use words such as

leukocytosis, paresthesias, and perhaps if you’re

lucky, phlegmasia cerulea dolens (my favorite).

Your brains will stretch; they will hold more

facts than you thought humanly possible. You

will learn to survive with less sleep and more

coffee. You will learn to eat quickly or not at all.

And yes, it’s sad but true: Your handwriting will

deteriorate.”

Several awards were presented, including

the MAA-sponsored Martha Myers Role

Model Awards (learn more on page 6) and

the Brewer-Heslin Award for Professionalism

in Medicine. The Brewer-Heslin Award was

presented to Vineeta Kumar, M.D. Dr. Kumar

is an associate professor of medicine in the

Division of Nephrology, program director of

the Transplant Nephrology Fellowship Program,

and medical director of the UAB Incompatible

Kidney Transplant Program.

SARA CREWS FINLEY, M.D., LEADERSHIP SCHOLARSHIP

The Sara Crews Finley, M.D., Endowed Lead-

ership Scholarship was presented to Lindsay

Sheets. Established by Dr. Sara Crews Finley’s

husband, Wayne H. Finley, M.D. ’60, Ph.D.,

and their children Sara J. Finley and Randall

W. Finley, M.D. ’83, the scholarship supports

students who demonstrate exceptional

academic and leadership abilities. It includes

full tuition for the third year of medical school

and is renewable for the fourth year.

Along with Dr. Wayne Finley, Dr. Sara Crews

Finley co-founded the first medical genetics

program in the southeastern U.S. She also

became the first female co-director of the

Laboratory of Medical Genetics at UAB, a

position she held for more than 30 years. Even

with her enormous contributions to the field

of genetics, she found her greatest passion

was her service to patients and their families

referred for genetic evaluation. Sheets mirrors

Dr. Finley’s commitment to serving others.

Sheets’ record includes being heavily involved

with the Equal Access Birmingham Clinic,

the medical student-run free clinic for the

underserved. She served as the research officer

during her second year and was chosen as

co-coordinator for the Global Health Interest

Group during her first year as an M.D./M.P.H.

student. In that role, Sheets helped first-year

students interested in global health plan

summer research trips. “We helped one student

plan a trip to Uganda and recruit students to

go,” says Sheets. “It was such a great group,

and I miss getting to be there all the time now

that I am in the hospital.”

Sheets is no stranger to the hospital. Three

weeks after being born in a small town in

Kentucky, she underwent heart surgery when

it was discovered she had a coarctation of

the aorta and bicuspid aortic valve. Later, she

became part of a clinical trial to see if ACE

inhibitors were effective for controlling blood

pressure in children. “I was up there every

week and got very used to being in that type

of environment,” says Sheets. “Since then, I

have always felt really comfortable in a doctor’s

office.

“Being honored with this award, with Dr. Sara

Crews Finley’s name, reminds me that not only

can I overcome the stumbles and struggles

I’ve faced and will face in my personal life and

medical career, but I can also conquer them.”

University of Alabama School of Medicine

in 1973.

Dr. Many completed his medical internship, one year of residency in

diagnostic radiology, and a residency and chief resident year in internal

medicine at the School of Medicine. He pursued his infectious disease

fellowship training at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical

School from 1978 to 1979 and returned to the School of Medicine to train

as a fellow the following year.

Dr. Many became the assistant program director of the UAB Montgomery

Internal Medicine Residency Program in 1985. In 1999, he was promoted

to program director and continued his efforts to create a center of

excellence of medical education and patient care at UAB Health Center-

Montgomery. He has maintained an active practice in infectious diseases,

with clinical interests that include the prevention of maternal-to-child

transmission of HIV. He has been selected as one of The Best Doctors in

America 10 times.

In November 2012, Dr. Many was appointed regional dean of the UAB

School of Medicine Montgomery Regional Campus. After leading the

Montgomery Regional Campus for nearly five years, he has announced he

will retire as regional dean in December.

Dr. Many and his wife of 40 years, CheeChee, live in Eclectic, Alabama. He

is the proud father of two sons, Benjamin and Wickliffe Joseph Many III.

Sandra King Parker, M.D., was raised in

DeFuniak Springs, Florida. She graduated

from the University of Alabama in 1982 with

an honors bachelor’s degree in biology.

Dr. Parker attended medical school and

completed residency training in psychiatry

at the University of Alabama School of

Medicine. She completed her fellowship in

child/adolescent psychiatry at the University

MARTHA MYERS ROLE MODEL AWARD WINNERSEach year, the MAA presents the Martha Myers Role Model Award to three distinguished alumni. Martha C. Myers, M.D. ’71, served as a medical missionary in Yemen until her death at the hands of a Yemeni extremist in 2002. Dr. Myers’ life serves as a reminder of how physicians are integral members of a greater community that extends beyond patient care. It is in the spirit of service for others in all aspects of life that the MAA recognizes the recipients of the Martha Myers Role Model Award.

of Arkansas for the Health Sciences in Little Rock. She is dual certified by

the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in adult psychiatry and

child/adolescent psychiatry.

From 1992 to 1999, Dr. Parker served as medical director for Altacare

of Pensacola, Florida. During that time, she also served as a child and

adolescent psychiatrist for then Mobile Mental Health Center, which is

now AltaPointe Health Systems. Dr. Parker was named AltaPointe’s chief

medical officer in 2000. During her tenure, the organization has grown

from 300 employees to more than 1,400 employees.

Dr. Parker has received numerous appointments, honors, and awards.

Among others, she was appointed by Alabama Governor Bob Riley as

a member of the Alabama Interagency Autism Coordinating Council

and is past president of the Mobile Bay Psychiatric Association and past

president of the Alabama Psychiatric Physicians Association. In 2015 and

2016, she was awarded the Red Sash Award by the University of South

Alabama (USA) College of Medicine, where she is the vice-chair for the

Department of Psychiatry. The American Psychiatric Association awarded

Dr. Parker the 2012 Bruno Lima Award, which honors contributions to the

care of disaster victims. She is currently an appointed board member

of the Statewide Health Coordinating Council Inpatient Psychiatric

Commission, the Alabama Medicaid RCO Quality Assurance Committee,

and the Mobile County Domestic Violence Taskforce.

She and her husband of 31 years, Jim Parker, M.D., a gastroenterologist

and fellow School of Medicine alumnus, have two children, Colbert

“Colby” Parker, M.D., currently an internal medicine resident at USA

College of Medicine, and Courtney Parker, who is in her final year of

dental school at the UAB School of Dentistry. The Parkers also have a

four-legged child, Penny, their 1-year-old English bulldog.

Amie B. (Jackson) McLain, M.D., was born

and raised in Florida, but calls Alabama

home. She she earned a bachelor’s in

microbiology from the University of

Alabama in 1980. She earned her medical

degree from the School of Medicine at UAB

in 1984.

In her last year of medical school, Dr.

McLain’s father developed metastatic cancer that resulted in the collapse

of his spine and paralysis. It was at that time she discovered the field

of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. This specialty embodied what

medicine represented to her, where the whole person was treated to

achieve maximum health and function. She completed her residency at

UAB and, when asked to remain as UAB faculty, she subspecialized in

spinal cord injury (SCI) medicine and neuro-rehabilitation.

Dr. McLain is a board-certified physiatrist with a long history of research

and clinical care activities involving spinal cord injured individuals. In 1997,

she was appointed chair of the Department of Physical Medicine and

Rehabilitation, becoming the second woman and the youngest person

ever to chair a UAB clinical department. In 2007, she was appointed

chief of staff during the first years of the health system’s acquisition

of UAB Highlands. She is also the founder and director of the nation’s

first Women’s Clinic for the Disabled at the Spain Rehabilitation Center,

which resulted in her serving on the first National Institutes of Health

Committee for Health of Women with Disabilities.

“Being a good leader is looking at the positives, following the truth, and

respecting diversity as well as individuality,” she says.

MEET MS1 CLASS PRESIDENT DANIEL SARRAF

Where are you from? I was born in Montreal, Canada.

My parents moved (back) to Israel six months later, and we lived there until I was about three. We then moved to Los Angeles, where my father works as a dentist at the University of Southern California. We moved

back and forth between Israel and LA, but I spent the majority of my youth in Israel. I moved back to LA permanently after I finished my military service in Israel in 2011, and I attended undergrad at UCLA.

What specialties interest you and why?Vision offers the chance to mix medicine and surgery, to integrate pre- and post-surgery care, to combine both clinical expertise and compassion, and to specifically deal with the challenging, unfortunate outcome of vision reduction or loss.

Why did you choose UAB for medical school? UAB was my top choice for several reasons. First, I really liked the research environment here. UAB has numerous internationally renowned researchers, and I knew it would be fertile ground to learn and work in a great lab. Second, since I come from a big city, I liked the warmth and friendliness of the faculty and people in general; in a metropolis like Los Angeles, that is hard to come by. Third, the medical education here is quite good; from the basic sciences to the clinic, UAB has all the tools necessary to provide both a superior education and experience. I had heard this from a friend prior to starting classes, and I now see how accurate the description is.

Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, and Henry Ford are

extraordinary talents who hail from Michigan.

The Great Lakes State also fostered a talent

in education, Christina Grabowski, Ph.D., who

began her career in undergraduate admissions

and admissions and enrollment management

at one of the state’s top-rated academic

institutions, Oakland University.

Dr. Grabowski later became the assistant dean

of its William Beaumont School of Medicine,

a role she began in 2009 that has prepared

her for her current role as UAB School of

Medicine’s new associate dean of admissions

and enrollment management.

Dr. Grabowski spoke to Medical Alumni

Association board members at the spring board

meeting, where she answered questions about

her training, the applications process, and the

holistic review process. Below is an excerpt

from that question-and-answer session.

Q: WHAT IS YOUR BACKGROUND?

I’ve been an admissions professional for

my entire career that spans over 20 years. I

was the founding admissions dean for a new

medical school in Michigan. My doctorate is in

educational leadership and higher education

administration, which involved learning a lot of

policy, efficiency, and student development. My

research has been in holistic admissions review

by finding out how we can holistically look at

students to determine who is going to meet

the needs of our patient population. I have

also been involved with the AAMC’s Advancing

Holistic Review Initiative and its national

admissions committee.

Q: CAN YOU DESCRIBE THE APPLICATION PROCESS?

Applicants apply to AMCAS, the

centralized application service. If they are

Alabama residents and U.S. citizens or

permanent residents and have a 495 or

higher on the new MCAT, they receive our

secondary application and move forward to be

reviewed in the process. If they are out-of-state

applicants, they have to have the 495 MCAT

score, citizenship or permanent residency, and

at least a 3.4 grade point average either in

undergraduate, post-baccalaureate or graduate

coursework. That’s new starting last year

because we have so many applicants—about

BUILDING A STUDENT BODYA Q&A WITH NEW ADMISSIONS ASSOCIATE DEAN CHRISTINA GRABOWSKI

4,000 each year. Applications are holistically

reviewed by faculty to determine who should

be invited for an interview.

We invite approximately 450-500 applicants to

interview for 186 spots. Some of those spots are

already filled by our rural medical scholars and

our EMSAP (Early Medical School Acceptance

Program) students. The interview process

involves one traditional interview and then

multiple mini interviews. Then, the interviewed

applicants are reviewed by our Admissions

Selection Committee for a final decision.

Q: HOW DO YOU RECRUIT APPLICANTS?

We have a team of folks going out

to universities across the state, and we’re

broadening our reach this year. We’re trying

to get out to more of our communities

within Alabama, and we have a

new recruiter from our Office of

Diversity and Inclusion who is part of

expanding our reach. We are building

relationships and getting the word

out about what we’re looking for even

more than we have in the past.

Q: WHAT IS HOLISTIC ADMISSIONS REVIEW?

Some people get the idea that

holistic admissions review involves

bringing in students who aren’t

prepared. That’s not true. Students

need to be able to handle the rigors

of medicine and standardized exams

for the rest of their lives. Previous

academic performance is important

because previous grades help predict future

grades, and previous test scores help predict

future test scores. However, we have some

students who have lower test scores—just not

great test takers—but have the discipline and

the ability to do well academically. We need to

take grades and test scores into consideration

together. In addition, we look at their trend in

grades, where they went to school, and the

rigor of their work to determine if they are

academically prepared.

In addition to looking at academics, we want

to evaluate what kind of physician applicants

are likely to be. We look at their motivation

for medicine and their understanding and

appreciation for the physician/patient

relationship. We look at their community

service, leadership and research experiences.

We evaluate their interpersonal skills and

communication skills—certainly their integrity

and honesty. We look at applicants as

individuals—how they’ve prepared for a career

in medicine, how they are likely to contribute

to medicine in the state of Alabama, and of

course, whether they can handle the academic

rigors of medicine. The holistic admissions

review process involves all these factors.

ALUMNI WEEKEND PREVIEWA SNEAK PEEK AT THE 2018 MEDICAL ALUMNI WEEKENDMARCH 9-10, 2018

DEAN’S LETTER

With a new academic year in full swing, I’m excited

about the positive momentum I see in all our mission

areas, and especially in medical education. This is due

in large part to the strong leadership of Craig Hoesley,

M.D., our senior associate dean for medical education.

Under Dr. Hoesley’s direction, we are continuing to

incorporate more active, team-based learning into our

curriculum (which research shows increases knowledge

retention and enhances problem-solving skills as well

as teamwork and leadership skills).

We are also working to enhance our Learning

Communities as social and emotional “homes” for

our students, and as venues for discussing topics

suitable for small groups, such as medical ethics, study

skills, managing finances, and coping with stress.

In September, we were honored to host more than

160 medical students, faculty, and administrators

from 40 medical schools across the U.S. and Mexico

at the Learning Communities Institute’s 14th annual

conference. The conference provided workshops,

group discussions, and presentations on a wide variety

of topics, including innovative curricula, teaching and

mentoring techniques, and student and physician

well-being.

Dr. Hoesley was also instrumental in recruiting our

new associate dean for admissions and enrollment

management, Christina Grabowski, Ph.D. Dr.

Grabowski brings a deep knowledge of medical

school admissions and the holistic admissions process,

and we are immensely pleased to have her on our

team. If you haven’t yet, go back and read the Q&A

with her on page 10 of this newsletter; I’m sure you

will find her insights compelling. Dr. Grabowski was a

guest at an alumni reception in Mobile earlier this year,

and I hope you will have more opportunities to meet

her at future events.

Finally, we continue to make exciting progress in the

Campaign for UAB, the largest, most comprehensive

fundraising initiative in the university’s history. As you

can see from the graphic on this page, our ambitious

$1 billion goal is coming ever closer on the horizon.

Alumni are integral to the School of Medicine’s

philanthropic efforts, and I extend my gratitude to

all those who have made gifts and pledges. If you’d

like to learn more about giving to the School of

Medicine, contact Jackie Wood, Executive Director of

Development, at (205) 996-0815 or jfwood@uab.edu.

LEARNING THROUGH GIVINGSERVICE LEARNING PROGRAMS ENHANCE MEDICAL EDUCATION

In recent years, service learning has become an increasingly key element

of the medical school curriculum, one that helps reinforce lessons about

the importance of compassion in the practice of medicine and the myriad

ways that health care (and lack thereof) affects people’s lives. The School

of Medicine has developed several new service learning programs, in

response to both accreditation standards and growing student demand.

Service is at the core of the Albert Schweitzer Fellowship (ASF), which

was founded in 1940 to support Schweitzer’s charity hospital in Gabon,

Africa. Today, the ASF works to develop a corps of professionals skilled

in creating positive change in their communities and within the broader

health care and human service systems. Each year, approximately 250

graduate students in a variety of fields are selected as Albert Schweitzer

Fellows. Each fellow partners with a community-based organization to

develop and conduct a yearlong service project.

In 2015, UAB established the organization’s 13th U.S.-based chapter

housed at the School of Medicine. This spring, the second class of

Alabama Schweitzer Fellows was named, including four School of

Medicine students:

• Caroline Fuller (MS2) is addressing childhood nutrition and exercise

in the East Lake community by creating a nutrition curriculum for the

Promoting Empowerment and Enrichment Resources’ (P.E.E.R., Inc.)

summer camp at East Lake United Methodist Church.

• Ashleigh Burns Irwin (MS2) is working to improve health literacy in

children kindergarten through second grade through the creation

and implementation of a healthy lifestyle curriculum for the YMCA of

Greater Birmingham Youth Center’s after-school program.

• Koushik Kasanagottu (MS4) is focusing on the lack of access to

quality nutrition information for disadvantaged groups by developing

a lifestyle checklist that contains evidence-based guidelines to

prevent or manage chronic diseases. His community partner site is

University Medical Center in Tuscaloosa.

• Carson Klein (MS2) is addressing the effects of social isolation on

the elderly in Birmingham. She is developing a volunteer program

that pairs medical students with socially isolated vulnerable seniors

currently enrolled in the UAB House Calls Program.

17

CONFRONTING HEALTH INEQUITIES

This year, the School of Medicine’s Office of

Service Learning launched a new program

aimed at providing medical students with

the skills and training they need to work with

medically underserved populations. The Health

Equity Scholars Program gives students an

understanding of the social determinants of

health, such as social environment, physical

environment, economic status, and health

services. The program also aims to provide

students with expertise in a specific area of

health disparities and population health, as well

as an understanding of common issues that

medical professionals who care for underserved

communities confront.

The program has five major components:

• 15 hours of School of Medicine Service

Learning electives by graduation

• 40 hours of direct service work by the start

of the MS3 year

• A scholarly project (research, education,

etc.) examining health equity issues

• Teaching preclinical students for four hours

during the MS4 year

• Health Equity Scholars Program training

sessions in all four years of medical school

Seven second-year medical students have been

selected for the inaugural class of Health Equity

Scholars: Kelsie Dodson, Hannah Hashimi,

Winston Joe, Shreya Kashyap, Callie Perkins,

Michael Puccinelli, and Jamiko Rose.

“We are excited to provide this expanded

learning opportunity for select students

who are motivated to provide quality care to

underserved populations,” says Kristin Boggs,

director of the Office of Service Learning. “We

believe this opportunity weaves together their

volunteerism, coursework, and scholarly work to

allow them to dive deeper in a particular topic

and become both culturally competent and

committed to health equity.”

GENEROSITY RUNS IN COMMON

The Equal Access Birmingham (EAB) Clinic

hosted the Fourth Annual Heart + Sole 5K on

Saturday, August

26. MAA was once

again a sponsor of

the race, which this

year returned to

the Crestline area

of Mountain Brook.

Approximately

200 runners ran in the 5K and more than 30

people participated in a “Sleep-In Option,”

which allowed them to donate and receive a

T-shirt without running in the race. Preliminary

totals indicate the race raised approximately

$24,000-$25,000 to benefit the medical

student-run health clinic for the uninsured

and the underserved in the Birmingham

area. Each year, School of Medicine

departments compete to see who can field

the most participants in the 5K. This year

the Department of Medicine edged out the

Department of Surgery by only one runner. In

addition to friends and family, UAB’s mascot,

Blaze, and UAB cheerleaders were there

to cheer on the runners of many ages who

participated.

A LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE LEARNING COMMUNITIES ARE RENAMED TO HONOR KEY FIGURES FROM SCHOOL OF MEDICINE HISTORY

BARFIELD-CARTER COMMUNITY

In 1945, Melson Barfield-Carter, M.D., became the first female faculty member at the School of Medicine and the first female to be named a department chair (of the Department of Radiology).

FINLEY COMMUNITY

Wayne Finley, M.D., Ph.D., and Sara Crews Finley, M.D., became pioneers in the field of medical genetics when they co-founded the Laboratory of Medical Genetics, the first center of its kind in the Southeast, in 1962.

HAMILTON COMMUNITY

Herschell Lee Hamilton, M.D., came to Birmingham in 1958 as its first African-American, board-certified general surgeon. He was the first African-American to receive operating privileges at University Hospital.

HARRISON COMMUNITY

Tinsley Harrison, M.D., served as both the first chair of medicine and the second dean at the Medical College of Alabama. He is best known as the founding editor and editor-in-chief of the first five editions of Harrison’s

Principles of Internal Medicine.

HILL COMMUNITY

Longtime School of Medicine faculty member Samuel Richardson (Dick) Hill Jr., M.D., served as president of UAB from 1977 to 1986. He was appointed dean of the Medical College of Alabama in 1962 and remained there as it

evolved into UAB.

HIRSCHOWITZ COMMUNITY

Basil Hirschowitz, M.D., Ph.D., is a medical pioneer who, along with his colleagues, invented the first fiberoptic endoscope that became the standard for visualizing and treating virtually every cavity in the body.

Since their creation in 2011, Learning Communities, led by faculty mentors of various disciplines, have helped our medical students navigate medical school while maintaining physical and mental well-being. Students in six of the Learning Communities recently had a chance to choose new names for their groups based on a list of leaders and luminaries from our school’s past and present. The students selected the following names: Barfield-Carter, Finley, Hamilton, Lyons, McCallum, and Oparil. Here is the full list of the Learning Communities and the noteworthy figures who inspired their names.

19

KIRKLIN COMMUNITY

In the 1950s, while at the Mayo Clinic, John Kirklin, M.D., performed the world’s first series of open heart operations using a heart-lung machine. Kirklin joined the UAB faculty in 1966 as chair of the Department of Surgery and

the surgeon-in-chief for UAB Hospital.

LYONS COMMUNITY

Champ Lyons, M.D., arrived in Birmingham in 1950 to become the first full-time chair of surgery, a position he retained until his passing in 1965.

MCCALLUM COMMUNITY

Charles “Scotty” McCallum Jr., D.M.D., M.D., earned a medical degree from the Medical College of Alabama in 1957 and became dean of the School of Dentistry in 1962. He later served as director of UAB Medical Center before becoming the third

president of UAB in 1987.

OPARIL COMMUNITY

Suzanne Oparil, M.D., is a renowned cardiologist and a member of the prestigious National Academy of Medicine. She is a distinguished professor of medicine at UAB and director of the UAB Vascular Biology and Hypertension

Program.

PITTMAN COMMUNITY

As the School of Medicine’s longest-serving dean— 19 years, from 1973 to 1992—James Pittman Jr., M.D., left an indelible mark. He is remembered for recruiting renowned physicians and scientists from across the U.S.

STUDENTS BOND AT LEARNING COMMUNITY OLYMPICS

For about the past five years, the Medical

Student Services office has hosted the annual

Learning Community (LC) Olympics at

orientation. The purpose of the LC Olympics

is to create a sense of friendly competition

among the 11 different groups and allow

members of the various Learning Communities

to get to know each other better and bond.

As part of this year’s LC Olympics, students

participated in a variety of events, including

dodgeball, basketball, kickball, swimming

relay, and table tennis. Students interested in

participating in nonphysical activities joined

events like a Jenga tournament, a cooking

competition, or a pool tournament. Each

Learning Community rotated through the

events, collecting points for the ones they

won. This year’s winner was the Hamilton

Learning Community.

“The LC Olympics give students a chance to

take a break from studying, allowing them to

participate in physical and mental activities

that promote a well-rounded physician-in-

training,” says Jason Noah, program director

for student success at Medical Student

Services.
