ARKANSAS CHILD ABUSE/RAPE/DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COMMISSION: Baptist Health-UAMS Medical Education Program Celebrates First Round of Graduates

The growing need for health care in Arkansas and the shortage of primary care physicians are reasons why Baptist Health & UAMS partnered together to create the residency program.

The Baptist Health-University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Medical Education Program on June 17 celebrated its first graduating classes of 24 residents in Family and Internal Medicine at the Baptist Health Medical Center-North Little Rock campus.

The growing need for health care in Arkansas and the shortage of primary care physicians are reasons why Baptist Health and UAMS partnered together to create the residency program. The goal is to train residents in the full scope of family medicine and internal medicine to increase medical care access to rural and underserved communities in the state. The program began in July 2019 and has since received accreditation.
