“Renown Teacher and Clinician Kirk Avent Steps Down-From the April 1, 2003, edition of the UAB Health System Weekly newsletter of the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
C. Kirk Avent, MD, a respected teacher and clinician in the Division of Infectious Disease, has retired after 33 years on the UAB faculty.
A graduate of Harvard Medical School, Dr. Avent trained as a resident in Internal Medicine at the University of Alabama Medical Center. After a fellowship in infectious disease at the University of Washington, he returned to UAB in 1970, joining the Department of Medicine as assistant professor.
In 1981, he became Director of Medicine Clerkships, a position he held for 21 years. He has received many awards from students for his teaching skills, including Best Teaching Resident in 1968 and Best Clinical Professor in 1988 and again in 1999. He was a recipient of the President's Award for Excellence in Teaching and the Arnold P. Gold Foundation Award for Humanism in Medicine in 1999. Medicine residents have chosen him as Outstanding Teacher on several occasions.
His clinical skills have been recognized by faculty colleagues, who awarded him the Cobbs-Rutsky Award for Clinical Excellence three times.
Dr. William E. Dismukes, director of the Division of Infectious Disease and a colleague of Dr. Avent's for over 30 years, says, "Dr. Avent is a most wise, thoughtful, and effective clinician-educator. He has exhibited sustained excellence and commitment to our Division and the School of Medicine over the years. All of us in the Medical Center, especially medical students, residents, fellows, and faculty peers will miss him greatly. We wish him well in his new medical endeavor."
Dr. Avent leaves the University to accept a position as Medical Director of Disease Control at the Jefferson County Department of Health. He will oversee programs in tuberculosis, sexually transmitted disease, bioterrorism, and other communicable diseases.”
