Since opening its doors in 1957, Southeast Alabama Medical Center (SAMC) has provided for the changing healthcare needs of the growing communities it serves and achieved the reputation of providing exceptional diagnostic, clinical, surgical and patient care services.

However, we realize that the care we deliver is only as good as the people who deliver it. Just as we’re passionate about caring for our patients, we’re equally passionate about the individuals who make up the SAMC team.

That’s why, at SAMC, we are always interested in dedicated, compassionate individuals who want to experience the personal and professional rewards of working in a challenging, growth-oriented environment.

Being a member of the SAMC team means using and expanding your skills while making decisions that enhance the health and customer service experience of our patients, their families and our visitors. Our standards of excellence and growth also create opportunities for you to continue in your area of specialty, or obtain training and education that allow you to take your skills in a new direction.

You must be 18 years or older to work at SAMC. Applications are kept in the active file for six (6) months.
