Gastroenterologist Louis Lambiase, MD, has been named regional dean of the Montgomery (Ala.) Regional Medical Campus at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine, the university said May 12.
Dr. Lambiase earned his medical degree from the University of Miami School of Medicine. He completed an internal medicine residency at the University of Pittsburgh and a GI fellowship at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
He previously served as both chair of University of Tennessee College of Medicine Chattanooga's department of medicine and a professor in the department of surgery.
The Montgomery regional campus was formed in 2012 to help curb a shortage of physicians in much-needed areas around Alabama. It's an ambulatory-based and primary care-focused practice that provides care to more than 8,000 active patients.
