Academic medical center delivering trauma care, specialty services, and medical education across Alabama
UAB Medicine operates a 1,100+ bed academic medical center serving 60,000+ patients annually, with a tech stack anchored in Epic Systems (EHR), Oracle, Cisco, and AWS—standard for large health systems. The hiring surge (411 roles posted in the last 30 days) is concentrated in clinical staff (healthcare department dominates), but the tech-stack footprint and active projects signal ongoing infrastructure work: legacy network equipment replacement, server stability maintenance, and credentialing workflow automation. Pain-point clustering around billing compliance, insurance denials, and credentialing delays suggests operational friction in revenue cycle and provider onboarding—areas where healthcare systems typically struggle at this scale.
Notable leadership hires: Family Services Director, RN Procedure Lead, Accounting Director, Chief Nursing Officer, Clinic Nurse Lead
