Special Features
UAMS Northeast Family Medicine Residency has prepared residents to excel in all practice settings within Family Medicine since 1980. We are fortunate to have our residency clinic located adjacent to our primary teaching hospital where residents are exposed to a very diverse patient population with both acute and chronic health conditions. Our curriculum includes exposure to several Family Medicine procedures, including POCUS. Our residency culture is supportive, nurturing, and family oriented.
