The Department of Surgery at the University of Alabama at Birmingham has established a community network to improve surgical care in rural areas through recruitment of rural surgeons, research, and network expansion.
Over the past 5 years, The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Department of Surgery has taken a keen interest in the practice of surgery in rural Alabama and has established the UAB surgery community network. Our goal is to improve the delivery of surgical care in rural areas through active recruitment of rural surgeons, the development of research around rural surgery practice, and the expansion of a surgery network throughout the state. Here, we will present the challenges faced by rural surgery, our early work to address these challenges, and offer a plan for moving forward.
