The Emergency Medicine
Residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences
has been providing quality post-graduate medical education
since 1983. Our residents complete the program and proceed
to positions at community hospitals, fellowship programs,
and at academic institutions ranging geographically from
Hawaii to Massachusetts.
The clinical experience for our residents takes place
primarily at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences
Medical Center (UAMS) and at Arkansas Children’s Hospital
(ACH). UAMS is a tertiary care referral center for the state
of Arkansas. The Emergency Department sees primarily adults
with an average annual patient volume of 32,000 and an
admission rate of 19%. With an average annual volume of
approximately 41,000 ACH provides an excellent clinical
experience in pediatrics. Our residents complete their
residency not only having had experience in the pediatric
ED, but also the Pediatric ICU as well as with Angel One
Transport. Angel One is an air ambulance service that
transports critically ill patients from Arkansas and the
surrounding states to Arkansas Children’s Hospital.
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to consider UAMS
for your Emergency Medicine education I welcome you to
e-mail me with any questions you have about our program.
