All Housestaff members (interns, residents, and fellows) in ACGME-accredited programs sponsored by the College of Medicine are part of the Resident Council. This is a forum for residents/fellows at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) to communicate and exchange information with each other relevant to their programs and their learning and working environment. It also serves as a platform for raising issues of concern.
Resident Council meets every other month, and its focus is self-defined on a yearly basis. The Council has the option to conduct their meetings with or without the Executive Associate Dean for Graduate Medical Education (GME), faculty members, or other administrators present. They report issues and needs as well as provide a summary report of each meeting to the Graduate Medical Education Committee (GMEC) through the Housestaff’s three peer-selected voting representatives.
