 Annual Medical Students' Procedure Workshop
Each spring, Uab Selma Family Medicine hosts a Procedure Workshop for fifty medical students from Alabama and surronding states. Using top quality, state-of-the-art medical models, the faculty and residents teach procedures that include central lines, basic suturing techniques, advanced suturing and hand-tying, intubation, IV access, arterial blood gas, joint injections, lumbar puncture, OB ultrasound, and flexible Sigmoidoscopy. These procedures and others are taught and practiced throughout the year.

"I just wanted to thank you and everyone involved at the UAB Selma Family Medicine procedure workshop one more time. We had an amazing time and really appreciate the wonderful hospitality. I think that several of us are now taking a closer look at what family medicine is really about for us physicians and how we can possibly impact our communities.

Thank you again."

"This whole workshop was great. I learned a lot about so many different procedures. It was even better than my expectations. It was very organized. In fact, this workshop was more organized than most of our classes. Thank you so much!"
