University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Regional Centers (Northeast) Program
About This Program
Jonesboro is unique in that most of our surrounding communities are rural but our city is not. This provides a wide range of health disparities at our Family Medicine clinic as well as our partner hospital. Our community also provides a all encompassing educational experience which requires no away rotations to complete your core requirements. Of the 10 faculty we have at our site, 9 were graduates of our program. We feel this establishes a sense of community and support at our site.
