Quotes from our Residents, Alumni & Attendings

"After going to college close to home and then medical school at UAMS, I looked hard to find a different residency program. Every place I looked though, I felt either their facilities were lacking or the people didn’t seem like folks with whom I wanted to spend the next 3 years of my life. In the end, I picked UAMS because of the quality of the residents I knew to be there."
