Why I Like UAMS Pathology: because of the opportunities for personal and professional growth within a well-established program combined with the exposure to a variety of practice settings and diverse patient populations.  UAMS’s residency program has a robust history, clinical, and research experiences coupled with an enriched and enjoyable residency program.
