Transitional Year Residency Program
East Alabama Health's Transitional Year Residency Program serves a growing need to provide quality clinical instruction to medical graduates pursuing advanced residencies or desiring to gain hands-on experience in a variety of specialties.
East Alabama Medical Center (EAMC) is a 314-bed acute-care hospital in Opelika, Alabama, with more than 16,000 inpatient admissions annually. The Emergency Department sees more than 80,000 patients each year between EAMC, EAMC-Lanier Rural Emergency Hospital in Valley, Alabama, and a freestanding emergency department located near Auburn University.
East Alabama Health's infrastructure also includes outpatient clinics focused on both primary care and specialties such as rheumatology, ophthalmology, obstetrics and gynecology, hematology/oncology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, and orthopedics, providing our residents with ample elective choices. East Alabama Health also serves an expanding percentage of the population in the surrounding 9 counties, giving each resident a broad base of diverse clinical experiences in the inpatient and outpatient settings.
Our curriculum will give you outstanding clinical experiences, but we also commit to developing your team leadership skills, which we believe are vital in the delivery of team-based health care. Because our program is smaller, you will receive great support from faculty and staff, creating a supportive environment and fostering your personal and professional development throughout the program.
