I chose the UAMS Pediatrics Residency Program because it’s wonderful and: I loved seeing how excited everyone was about the program from students to faculty and staff. I saw myself learning and growing a lot within the program because of the opportunities and supportive environment, which is what I was looking for in a residency program.
