Ultimately, your work will contribute to the overall improvement of mental health within the community, promoting resilience and emotional stability among those you serve. Cahaba Medical Care expects all of our licensed providers to host learners from time to time, since we are a teaching institution. This is our pipeline for recruiting excellent providers who want to serve the populations we take care of. Every student we accept applies for the chance to be here through a competitive process and is reviewed and assessed for their likelihood of working in an underserved, underresourced area in the future.
