Family and Preventive Medicine

The Department of Family and Preventive Medicine (DFPM) was established in 1973 in the state's only College of Medicine at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). The medical school is one of the six health colleges at UAMS.

Family Medical Center, conveniently located on the UAMS campus in central Little Rock, strives to provide the highest quality, yet cost effective primary healthcare to the community, while providing an environment that values teaching and research. True to the comprehensive and integrative approach of Family Medicine, our scope of services is wide: preventive health, behavioral health, obstetrics and gynecology (ob/gyn), occupational medicine, geriatrics, adult and pediatric care, outpatient procedures.
