Training
We teach the Family Medicine physicians of tomorrow. We offer excellent training in a premier academic medical center in the state’s capital city, along with outstanding rotations at Arkansas Children’s Hospital and the John L. McClellan Memorial Veterans Hospital. Our residents enjoy superior training that includes procedures (dermatological, musculoskeletal, and more), and psychosocial development.
High Quality, Flexible Education
Residents pose outside the Family Medical Center
The UAMS Little Rock Family Medicine Residency Program offers a high quality educational program with exceptional flexibility. Required rotations provide training in major clinical disciplines. Elective time allows you to pursue areas of special interest such as research, medical informatics, prevention, obstetrics, and more.
As a resident, you will have opportunities to interact with and teach medical students. The environment of scholarship and educational teamwork facilitates your development as a family physician. Residents in Family Medicine also participate in formal educational experiences in area nursing homes and health department clinics. The primary goal of the program is to produce physicians who embody the unique knowledge, skills and attitudes of the specialty of Family Medicine.
