The UAMS M.D./Ph.D. program established a local chapter of the American Physician Scientist Association (APSA) in 2017.
The mission of UAMS APSA is to support the cultivation of physician-scientists by promoting career development of research and clinical interests, establish& networking among both students and professionals on local and national levels, and augment training in skills essential to a physician scientist.
Each month, the UAMS APSA hosts a lunch with a local physician scientist to foster career development and share career wisdom with aspiring physician scientists.
