What do you like most?
-
There is a friendly environment among students. Faculty are generally helpful.
-
Close nit, not competative between classmates
-
Perhaps the best part about UAMS, to me, is its focus on teaching clinicians. Research does not interest me in the slightest, so the fact that most faculty are interested solely in making you a better doctor is fantastic.
What do you like least?
-
The first two years are systems based/integrated, but at times they don't seem to be fully integrated, so sometimes things are either redundant or not emphasized enough. Overall, I would say they do a nice job, but there are definitely some frustrating moments.
-
Focused on rural medicine and really want their students to stay in AR to practice
-
The intent focus on primary care gets a bit old. There are some required primary care clerkships that many other schools do not include. I would prefer to not have rural health rammed down my throat at all times.

I really love it overall!
-
My classmates are awesome. UAMS seems to do an excellent job of admitting good people. While there are certainly plenty of stereotypical med students around, most people are very easy to get along with. The atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly, for the most part.
Success!
