Andrea Cherrington, M.D., MPH, is a Professor of Medicine at the University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB) in Birmingham, AL. She earned her MPH and participated in the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars’ Program at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill after completing residency in Internal Medicine at UAB in 2003. In 2006, she returned to UAB where her research has focused on developing, implementing and evaluating community-based interventions for chronic disease prevention and management in high risk and under-resourced communities, with an increasing emphasis on linking those interventions to health systems. She has been continuously funded since 2008 with grants from the National Institutes of Health, the American Diabetes Association, the American Heart Association, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. She serves as Director for the UAB Program in Clinical and Population Health Sciences as well as the Intervention and Translation Core within the UAB Diabetes Research Center, and is a multiple PI for the recently awarded Deep South Center to Reduce Disparities in Chronic Disease. Dr. Cherrington remains clinically active in ambulatory medicine at Cooper Green Mercy Health System, Alabama’s only county-owned, safety-net clinic in the greater Birmingham area.
