Overall, how satisfied are you with this program?

8 out of 10

What was the zip code of your residence in high school?

64112

What do you like most?

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 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.

Any other information you want to share?

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.
