“I am proud to be partly trained at ACH. For family reasons, my family had to relocate during my training and this made me more proud of what a resident here can be exposed to while being very well challenged and surrounded by not only excellent educators but very friendly ones."

Introduction
Take a Tour of parts of ACH and the new NICU at UAMS!
UAMS
The University Hospital of Arkansas, opened in 1955, is the central teaching facility for residencies in 25 specialties, including Internal Medicine. In January 2009, a 10-level, 540,000-square-foot hospital expansion will include 234 adult beds and 64 neonatal beds, along with 40 inpatient beds in the adjacent Psychiatric Research Institute for a total of 437 hospital beds. More details of the ongoing expansion projects at UAMS can be found at: www.uams.edu/growing/projects
Arkansas Children's Hospital
Arkansas Children's Hospital is a private, not for profit, free standing children's hospital with 316 beds. Established in 1912, the hospital underwent rapid growth in the 1980's and is now the nation’s sixth largest children’s hospital. The hospital serves as the major pediatric teaching affiliate for the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. In addition, FORTUNE Magazine has named Arkansas Children's Hospital among its 100 Companies to Work For® each of the last for years.
The hospital is the only pediatric medical center in the state of Arkansas, and serves as a referral center for areas of southern Missouri, eastern Oklahoma, northern Louisiana and northeast Texas. Nationally renowned programs such as the pediatric cardiovascular surgery program and the ECMO program attract patients from other areas of the country as well.
In 2012, Arkansas Children's Hospital will debut its largest-ever construction project, a 258,000-square foot expansion that includes a new emergency department, additional cardiovascular intensive care beds and an expanded NICU. The addition will bring ACH to 370 patient beds and 90-plus outpatient clinics.
The hospital also operates a neonatal and pediatric transport service which uses two helicopters, three ground vehicles, and has a variety of fixed-winged aircraft available. All pediatric transports include a resident physician or fellow, transport nurse and respiratory therapist. Residents are able to participate in the transport program after completing the pediatric ICU rotation.
