Family Medicine
Centers
Hospitals Washington Regional Medical Center (WRMC) in Fayetteville, Arkansas is the primary admitting hospital for the AHEC-NW Family Medicine Residency Program. With 294 beds and the busiest Emergency Room in the state, this acute care hospital is well-equipped to train our residents. There are no competing residency programs in the hospital, so the amount of "hands on" experience is high. The consulting medical staff work very cooperatively with our residents, providing them with excellent learning opportunities in specialty areas. A new hospital for WRMC opened in August 2002.

The
AHEC-NW Family Medicine Residency has two Family Medicine centers. In March,
1993 the program moved into its main clinic site in Fayetteville. The Family
Medical Center is a modern 18,000 square foot facility and is located on an
attractive two-acre tract of land on the northeastern border of
Fayetteville. The building houses our clinic as well as the offices of the
Area Health Education Center and is nestled in surrounding hills in a
pastoral-type setting. The facility is designed and equipped to serve as an
effective training site for eighteen resident physicians, along with the
practices of six of our faculty physicians.
In
April, 1996 the AHEC-NW Family Medicine Residency Program opened its second
Family Medicine center as the Northwest Family Medical Center in Springdale.
This beautiful 8,600 square foot clinic located in the Jones Clinic was
developed to meet the demands of a growing population in Northwest Arkansas and
a growing interest in our program. This clinic features an excellent electronic
medical record system, with plans to use this system at the Fayetteville clinic
in the near future. Nine of our residents and three of our faculty physicians
have their Family Medicine clinics in this facility.
