The College of Community Health Sciences (CCHS) was founded in 1972 by William Willard, MD, author of the "Willard Report" and considered the "Father of Family Medicine," with a mandate to train family physicians for Alabama, particularly its rural areas.

CCHS is sponsor of the UA Family Medicine Residency and seven fellowships for family physicians. The Residency, a program now in its 45th year, is the second largest family medicine residency in the country.

Of the more than 470 Residency graduates, 85% practice in the five-state area of the Southeast, with half in rural areas, and comprise 1 of 7 family physicians practicing in Alabama.

Nearly 900 medical students have completed their clinical training at the College since 1974, entering Family Medicine and primary care careers at more than twice the national average.
