UAMS Accreditation
As the state’s only medical teaching facility, UAMS takes its role in training tomorrow’s physicians and research scientists very seriously. Nearly 80 percent of UAMS’ students remain in Arkansas after graduation, as teachers, as researchers and as medical practitioners. By producing highly trained and motivated medical personnel and researchers, the health of Arkansans and future Arkansans is secured with the knowledge that those serving them are among the nation’s top health care professionals. UAMS’ five colleges and its graduate school are responsible for producing skilled specialists in virtually every field of medicine – from nurses to paramedics, from surgeons to pharmacists – and attention is paid to every detail of training in our effort to generate the best and brightest future health care professionals and researchers.
