There were 29 pediatric and medicine/pediatric residents who graduated from our program in June 2023. Of these 13 (45%) chose to join a practice in general pediatrics. Another 7 (24%) will be doing fellowships in either cardiology, emergency medicine, critical care, or rheumatology. Six graduates (21%) will be working in hospital medicine programs, and three will be chief residents. Compared to some recent years, there were more people in this class going into general pediatrics. Including the chief residents, 68% of graduates are staying in Arkansas for either practice or fellowship. Congratulations to all these graduates and it was our privilege to have you do your residency at UAMS and Arkansas Children’s Hospital.
