Dr. Alex Minter thought he wanted to practice another form medicine besides oncology until he faced a battle with breast cancer that hit close to home while attending medical school at UAB. 

“It’s not a job for me; it’s a passion,” Minter said. “It’s kind of like a preacher being called to the pulpit; I felt called to oncology.”
