Bridging the Gray Area from Childhood to Adulthood
Dr. Carlie Stein Somerville, a Birmingham native, returned to UAB after completing her undergraduate years in Georgia because of her love for the program’s supportive atmosphere and interactions with incredible faculty Dr. Curry, Dr. Willett, and Dr. Morris in particular. After serving as the Medicine-Pediatrics assistant program director for three years, she will become the new program director starting January 1.
The new leadership role is in addition to Dr. Somerville’s primary care clinic in Leeds where she takes care of patients ages 0-100 years, attending in IM4 clinic and Tinsley wards (one of her favorites), and launching the much needed transitional clinic. Recently, I had the chance to interview one of UAB’s most beloved Med-Peds faculty and how she effortlessly does it all.
