UAB Medical School is opening a new branch in Montgomery to go with the one in Hunstville and Tuscaloosa. So we will have UAB-Montgomery, UAB-Tuscaloosa and UAB-Huntsville....
-------
The campus, located at Baptist Medical Center South, will be the third regional location for the UAB School of Medicine. UAB already operates campuses in Tuscaloosa and Huntsville.

UAB sucks and will never call its own shots.

UAB is the newest and largest in terms of faculty, staff, and budget of Alabama's major universities. UAB began in 1936 as the Birmingham Extension Center of the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Because of the rapid growth of the Birmingham area, it was decided that a program for students in the Birmingham area was needed. In 1945, the University of Alabama School of Medicine moved from Tuscaloosa to Birmingham, and took over management of Jefferson and Hillman Hospitals in Birmingham.
In 1966, the Extension Center and the School of Medicine were merged into the University of Alabama in Birmingham. In 1969, UAB became one of three autonomous institutions of the University of Alabama System, which includes the University of Alabama (UA) in Tuscaloosa and the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAHuntsville). The university's name was changed to the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 1984.
I think the Alabama politicians screwed UA. LINK

Um...cool story?

That is good news, but do worry about the quality of medical students coming out of another satellite location. Like they say, "What do you call the person who finishes last in his/her class at the worst medical school in America?"

When a person gets their MD from there, what does it say on the diploma school-wise?

Uab is an awesome med school. I considered going there but living in Alabama would be too miserable. I came to Houston instead.

The UA board is obviously doing this to compete with AU's planned new witch doctor school.

Just a couple of points to add.
My diploma says University of Alabama School of Medicine.
My class was one of the last few with it as such. I was in med school when they made the switch on the patches that we wore on our white coats and the campaign began for an official UAB-SOM name.
I was told that the school of medicine moved to Birmingham for 1) patient volume, and 2) accessibility. However, the name was not changed to UAB School of Med at that time for several reasons: 1) at that time UAB did not have autonomy, 2) nationally, nobody new who UAB was, and 3) UASOM was using private hospitals (Hillman) for clinicals.
In time, UAB gained autonomy and its hospital/research exploded. Now most of the clinicals take place at UAB's hospital and most of the lectures are staffed out by UAB professors.
On another note, there is no independent medical school/branch in Tuscaloosa or Huntsville. All med students take 2 years of classes in Bham. Then ~50 students can do their clinical rotations (the remaining 2 years of med school) in Tuscaloosa or Huntsville.
