University of South Alabama College of Medicine
Description: The University of South Alabama (USA) is a public, doctoral-level university in Mobile, Alabama, USA. It was created by the Alabama Legislature in 1963, and replaced existing extension programs operated in Mobile by the University of Alabama. At the time that this university was founded, a new concept was implemented in Alabama for the first time; that a public institution of higher education would be created that did not use race as a factor for enrollment. The only place in the state that was really open to this type of policy was the Mobile area. The rich cultural diversity of the Mobile area made it the obvious choice. No other areas of the state were willing to support such a school at that time. Plans for this university were being made as early as 1956.
The University is divided into nine colleges and schools, and includes Alabama's second state-supported medical school. The basic medical sciences are situated on the university campus. The University of South Alabama Medical Center is the primary physician-staffed emergency facility in South Alabama and is a Level I trauma center. Other clinical training settings include the University of South Alabama Children's and Women's Hospital.
The medical college is positioned in a suburban setting and is less than one hour away from Gulf Shores and Dauphin Island, two popular U.S. beach vacation spots. The hospitals and clinics are interspersed throughout Mobile County and serve the health care needs of the community. As alluded to earlier, these facilities include the only Level I trauma center in the region, as well as the newest cancer treatments offered through the University of South Alabama Cancer Institute.
