I chose the UAMS Pediatrics Residency Program because it’s wonderful and…: I loved every moment I spent during my research internship at Child Neurology department. Everyone, right from the faculty, residents, and staff were welcoming and supportive all along. Also, ACH being the only pediatric hospital in the state of Arkansas makes it my choice for residency training.

I chose the UAMS Pediatrics Residency Program because it’s wonderful and…: the hospital is a beacon of hope for the state of Arkansas, and I have grown up with it through my life and career. I have held multiple roles at this hospital including Camp Wannaplay volunteer, patient care tech, and medical student. I couldn’t imagine doing my residency anywhere else!
