Baptist Health - UAMS Program
About This Program
Our Transitional Year Residents will work closely alongside our Internal and Family Medicine Residents. Our faculty have many years of experience in private practice, rural practice, academics and administration, in various specialties. BH-UAMS offers a dedicated Director of Educational - Research to provide assistance to our residents. Our GME Program is medium-sized, but small enough our residents and attending physicians know each other.
