Quotes from our Residents, Alumni & Attendings

"After completing medical school in Little Rock, I interviewed at many programs to ensure that I was staying in Arkansas due to the strength of the program and not just due to my comfort zone. I was unable to match the caliber of fellow residents and approachability of attendings at UAMS."

—Christy Bartlett, M.D.
