What impressed you positively?

UAMS has some great facilities. They are really focused on making great doctors (and researchers which is a huge plus for MD/PhD applicants =). They allow you to interact with standardized patients in the first year of school, and from what I understand you may request a standardized patient at any time if you would like to gain additional experience or practice before an exam.

What impressed you negatively?

I am from CA so of course this area is quite small and quaint. Personally this was not negative, but this could be a negative point to some people. So if you are looking for a lively diverse area, this probably is not the place for you.
