The UAMS Department of Internal Medicine participates in the Electronic Residency Application System (ERAS), developed by the Association of American Medical Colleges for its Categorical Internal Medicine and Combined Medicine/Pediatrics programs.
We do not sponsor observerships or externships. To participate in clinical activities in this program (e.g., acting internships), it is our policy that a student be currently enrolled in an LCME-accredited medical school.
