6981 Men's Soccer.Ps, Page 1-68 @ Normalize ( 6981 UAB AT A GLANCE In the 1960s, a small extension center of the University of Alabama embarked on a mission to become a center of quality education. During the next four decades, tremendous strides in education and medicine transformed this hub of learning into an independent campus known as the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Today UAB is one of the country’s premier public universities, with approxi- mately 17,000 students. UAB’s influence reaches into every facet of the Birmingham community, improving the lives of residents through innovative health care, education, and active community involvement. As an educator, a campus encompassing 82 city blocks thrives with opportunities to gain a real- world education in the arts and humanities, business, dentistry, education, engineering, health professions, medicine, natural sciences and mathematics, nursing, optometry, public health, and social and behavioral sciences. Bharat Soni, one of America’s top computing experts and a UAB engineering professor, has cre- ated a high-performance virtual reality lab on campus. In health care, UAB is a world leader in research, patient care and innovative biomedical educational programs. In cutting-edge research centers, UAB scientists are seeking cures for conditions such as cancer and heart disease. In addition, many UAB physicians are consistently ranked among the nation’s best by national publications. UAB’s impact on the community is quite obvious. As Alabama’s largest single employer, more than 52,900 jobs in Birmingham are UAB-related, including approx- imately 18,000 UAB employees. Plus, UAB energizes the local, state, and regional economies with more than $2.9 billion of UAB-related business volume. A University Challenging the Future • An impressive 91.3 percent of UAB’s 1,776 faculty members hold an academic or professional doctorate in their fields. • With a student-faculty ratio of 18 to 1, UAB’s world-renowned visionar- ies and problem-solvers share their expertise and experience in the class- room and lead others to the brink of discovery.

With its seven ranked programs, UAB Hospital was one of only 176 hospitals, or about 3 percent of U.S. institutions studied — and the only hospital in Alabama — to make the magazine‘s “Best Hospital’s” List. • In recognition accorded to fewer than 200 of the nation’s health care provider organiza- tions, UAB Hospital in 2006 was recertified as a Magnet Hospital for Nursing Excellence by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). UAB Hospital is one of only 17 in the Southeast, and the only one in Alabama to attain the prestigious Magnet designation for its nursing excellence.. • UAB is a national leader in organ transplantation. Its organ survival rates are among the best in the nation, patient survival rates exceed the national average, and waiting time for transplant is among the shortest nationally. • The UAB School of Health Professionas provides advanced opportunities and is one of the largest schools of its types in the nation, with 21 innovative programs at the baccalaureate, masters and doctoral degree levels within six departments: Critical Care, Diagnostic and Therapeautic Sciences; Health Services Administration; Nutrition Sciences; Occupational Therapy; and Physical Therapy.

  • Benefits Summary for UAB Hospital Management LLC Employees Healthcare Plans
    Benefits Summary for UAB Hospital HUMAN RESOURCES Management LLC Employees The University of Alabama at Birmingham uab.edu/benefits Healthcare Plans For new employees, coverage under UAB’s healthcare plans will begin on the date of employment. Employees who wish to enroll in one of UAB’s healthcare plans may do so within 31 days of their hire date or a separate qualifying event. If for some reason you do not enroll during the times stated above, the next opportunity to do so will be during the annual open enrollment period (usually during October with a January 1 effective date). UAB’s medical, dental, and vision plans are stand-alone programs. Premiums for medical, dental and vision insurance are pre-tax deductions from your paycheck. Traditional Medical Plans UAB offers eligible employees a choice of three stand-alone traditional medical plans: Viva UAB, Viva Access and Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Traditional plans are characterized by lower out-of-pocket costs (copays and deductibles) for covered services when compared to the consumer-driven health plan (see below), and do not include a high annual deductible that must be met before insurance begins paying. Consumer Driven Health Plan with HSA UAB offers eligible employees a consumer-driven health plan, Viva Choice. The difference between a traditional health plan and the Viva Choice CDHP is that in exchange for meeting a higher combined medical and Rx deductible, you will have lower monthly premiums. Viva Choice is paired with a Health Savings Account (HSA) that enables you to set aside pre-tax via payroll or after tax dollars to pay for qualified, out-of-pocket expenses.

  • Regional Transit System Proposal
    What is the In-Town Transit Partnership Project (ITP)? The ITP is a public transportation study initiated by the Regional Planning Commission of Greater Birmingham (RPCGB), with a grant managed by the Birmingham Jefferson County Transit Authority (BJCTA), to identify and evaluate transit service improvement options around Downtown Birmingham and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), as well as adjacent neighborhoods. The RPCGB has worked with government agencies, area stakeholders, and the general public to determine the preferred transit service option and to assess the environmental benefits and impacts of the recommended improvements. Why Does the City Center Need Transit Improvements? •The Downtown Financial District and UAB serve as economic engines for the Birmingham metropolitan area. • Increasing traffic congestion and few transportation choices for trips to and within the City Center hinder the ability of these activity centers to reach their full economic potential. • Transit services provided in the region are extremely limited, with 30 to 60 minute service on almost all existing local bus routes. • There is a need for transit services that have the potential to attract a greater share of the trips to and within the study area. • Transit improvements will support the city’s vision of a transit- friendly and pedestrian-oriented City Center. Planning for a Regional Transit System The long-range vision for regional transit services includes expanded local bus service, express buses, bus rapid transit, a downtown transit system, transit- supportive infrastructure, High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, park-and-ride lots, and other transportation improvements for six major corridors in the Birmingham region.
