UAB Hospital ED Expansion Opportunities

We are expanding our Emergency Department (ED) at UAB Hospital to serve the needs of our patients — and you can be part of what’s next. As Alabama’s first Level I Adult Trauma Center designated by the American College of Surgeons, our Emergency Department team delivers compassionate, immediate care for critically ill or injured adult patients with round-the-clock access to world-class specialists.
As one of the largest emergency departments in the country, this expansion will increase our footprint to 115+ treatment and triage spaces, more than doubling our capacity. Included is a 30-bed inpatient observation unit designed to improve patient flow.

The expansion was designed with staff input, and will have new equipment and features, including:
 
  • Dedicated technology like CT scanners, X-ray machines, and echo ultrasound
  • A ceiling lift for bariatric patients to improve safety and reduce strain 
  • A streamlined teleadmission process to support faster transitions of care
  • Enhanced security for staff and patients

If you’re ready to help shape the future of emergency care at one of the nation’s leading academic medical centers, we want you to join our team. By applying for one of these roles, you are indicating your interest in an opportunity at UAB Hospital’s ED, where you may have the opportunity to work in the new addition. Due to the nature of construction timelines, your start date could be between now and August 2026.
