Family Medicine Clerkship Site Specific Information
The Department of Family and Preventive Medicine (Little Rock) Designed and constructed to meet the needs of the UAMS Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, the Family Medical Center lies across the street from the McClellan VA Hospital, and between the Stephens Spine Center and the Reynolds Institute on Aging. The clinic occupies the first floor with 24 exam rooms, 2 procedure rooms, laboratory, and x-ray facilities. Eight exam rooms are equipped for observation and digital recording of patient care. On the second floor are offices, conference rooms, and the Resident library and computer lab. The ground floor houses the Research Evaluation Division (RED) and the Continuing Health Education Program (CHE) divisions. The family medicine residency program is a university-based program that has graduated family physicians since 1973. These physicians have gone into a wide variety of practice settings, from rural solo practice to directing health maintenance organizations in large cities. Although we have the facilities of tertiary care hospitals and the faculty of the medical school, the program retains autonomy for the practice and teaching of primary care by providing outpatient care in its own clinic building and by having its own ward service for inpatient care. Rotations are provided at the University Hospital of Arkansas, Arkansas Children’s Hospital, and the McClellan Veterans Administration Hospital. The program enjoys an optimal environment for learning. We have the advantages of access to extensive facilities and faculty without losing our identity as a program for primary care physicians. Other divisions within the department include Medical Student education, clinical research, and community research. Housed within the department are 14 board- certified family physicians, two clinical social workers, and certified dietician. The Family Medical Center serves as a teaching site for medical students. The intellectual environment created by the department for the study of family medicine provides an exciting atmosphere for learning the specialty.

UAMS West – Fort Smith UAMS West was established in 1974 and the Family Practice Residency Program was started in 1975. Since its inception, UAMS West has maintained a high quality accredited medical education program. One hundred and fifty of our Resident graduates practice in Arkansas, and ninety-nine practice in western Arkansas. UAMS West serves a thirteen county area that extends south to Polk and Montgomery Counties, north to Johnson and Franklin Counties, east to Faulkner County and west to the Arkansas/Oklahoma border. UAMS draws patients from both western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma. Baptist Fort Smith is UAMS West’s affiliated teaching hospital. UAMS West offers training in primary care to sophomore medical students through summer preceptorships with area hospitals and physicians. Multiple selective and elective rotations are available to senior medical students in family practice, internal medicine, surgery, radiology, emergency medicine, etc. Nursing, pharmacy, and social work students rotate through in clinical programs under the direction of UAMS West faculty as well. A very busy and extremely stimulating Family Practice Residency Program is the focal point for clinical and educational programs. Starting academic year 2014, we began accepting our first Physician Assistant students for clinical rotations. Medical education opportunities are available to physicians, student allied health care professionals, and the public. The UAMS West library, located in Baptist Fort Smith, is supported by UAMS West, and the Sebastian County Medical Society. The library offers an extensive collection of textbooks, periodicals, journals, and reference materials. The library has bibliographic access to a variety of databases; including those from the National Library of Medicine, as well as a full complement of the UAMS online library resources. Western Arkansas has a need for more family medicine physicians, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, physician assistants, and other health care providers. In addition, demand for primary care is increasing as a result of the state’s growing population, the aging of our population, and an increase in prevalence of chronic illnesses. To address these needs, UAMS West constructed in 2016/2017 a new 30,000 sq. ft. clinic. This new facility will allow us to accommodate an increased number of health care profession trainees, effectively service the acute, chronic and preventative needs of our patients, and train our residents and students in patient-centered, team- oriented, cost-effective care. Fort Smith, population 88,184, and its sister city, Van Buren, population 33,081, are located in west central Arkansas in the Arkansas River Valley between the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains. Fort Smith is the epicenter for a large industrial and commercial
trade area, which includes major medical establishments. Cultural activities include
the Fort Smith Symphony, Little Theatre, Fort Smith Chorale, the Regional Art Museum
(RAM), numerous churches, etc. Recreational activities are abundant by virtue of our
location in the Arkansas River Valley with nearby mountains, rivers, and lakes. Local
facilities include several parks, golf courses, and fitness centers, including a Fitness
Center at Baptist Fort Smith, where residents and students are provided free
membership while participating in UAMS West Regional programs.

479-785-2431UAMS West – Batesville Thank you for your interest in UAMS North Central Family Medicine Residency Program, a newly accredited program in the UAMS Regional Program system serving the North Central Region. We are located in the growing community of Batesville, AR along the scenic White River in the beautiful Ozark Gateway Region. Batesville, the oldest city in Arkansas, has plenty to offer with outdoor activities, arts, festivals, a bustling main street, excellent schools, and a strong community feel. While Batesville may be a small town of 10,000, we have a thriving medical community where most specialties are represented. Due to our strong relationship with White River Medical Center (our 224-bed community hospital partner) and the support from our local physicians, we are able to host all required inpatient and outpatient rotations in Batesville. Here at UAMS North Central we have developed an innovative curriculum using the principles of the Clinic First model initiated by UCSF’s Center for Excellence in Primary Care. By making the clinic the primary teaching site and utilizing a small core of Family Medicine Faculty, we have prioritized resident schedules to increase clinic time, eliminate inpatient/outpatient tensions, and enhance learning by emphasizing continuity between patients and residents. We have an operationally excellent Family Medical Center that uses cohesive and stable clinic teams built on the PCMH model to teach residents how to thrive in a busy clinic practice. We offer a unique schedule of week-long rotation blocks across the entirety of residency training focused on improving the resident experience and patient care by increasing continuity. While at first glance this may seem disruptive, we find that it actually allows for an educational experience that more closely models the breadth and depth of Family Medicine encountered in a real-world setting. Our Outpatient Family Medicine rotation will have residents scheduled five half-days in continuity clinic per week every sixth week during the first year and every fourth week during the second and third years. Most other rotations will have residents scheduled in continuity clinic one to two half-days per week which allows them to spend the maximum amount of time with the rotation preceptor. During the first year, the only time residents will not have clinic is during their night float rotation every sixth week. This innovative schedule allows residents to have more time in continuity clinic, more time on rotations, and dedicated time for longitudinal curriculum and self-directed learning. While we are outpatient focused, UAMS North Central strives to provide a well-rounded Family Medicine training experience including inpatient medicine, pediatrics and obstetrics. Traditionally, these residency services have been essential to the partnering hospital and have required a resident present at all times. While our residents are extremely important in these rotations, they are not essential. In contrast, these core inpatient services are all rotation- based within our program. This allows UAMS North Central to have activities, such as didactics or resident retreats, where all the residents can attend without the added burden of inpatient/outpatient tension.
In addition to the traditional required rotations, we have longitudinal curriculum during didactics and the Outpatient Family Medicine weeks that includes leadership development, physician resilience, population health, community health and engagement, practice management, and professionalism. We are also developing opportunities such as occupational health and student health with local partners to improve the health of our community through technology such as telemedicine. Using an innovative curriculum, as well as continuing to develop new educational opportunities for residents, creates a culture of inquiry that will keep UAMS North Central on the cutting edge of residency training and prepare residents for the future of Family Medicine. I am extremely excited about the future of UAMS North Central Family Medicine Residency Program. The curriculum and schedule have been purposefully designed to further our mission of excellent education and patient care in a resident-centered environment. We provide high-quality outpatient-focused Family Medicine training in a small-town setting that is typically only seen in larger communities. I invite you to apply to see our unique program for yourself. M. Jordan Weaver, MD, FAAFP Program Director UAMS North Central Family Medicine Residency Program

This rotation option is contributed by dual-partnership between Community Health Centers of Arkansas (CHCA) and the Regional Programs of UAMS. CHCA is a non-profit organization established in 1985 to expand access to affordable quality care in Arkansas, and to create a unified voice for Community Health Centers (CHCs) and the patients they serve. For more than 30 years, CHCA has received funding to provide training/technical assistance to CHCs for improving care delivery. CHCA’s mission is to advocate for and facilitate the success of CHCs and promote access to health care in Arkansas. Their vision is to be an innovative leader, promoting improved health care outcomes and equal access to the highest quality health care for all Arkansans. CHCA serves 12 CHC organizations and their 100+ service locations across Arkansas. The services offered by CHCA help Arkansas CHCs provide effective and efficient care to their patients, further their goals of improving access to care and reducing health disparities; and improved health outcomes. CHCA has over the years successfully served as a conduit for new programs, projects and funding that supports greater access to comprehensive services for underserved populations throughout Arkansas. CHCA collaborates with local, state and federal partners, organizations and policy makers to positively influence changes to policies, regulations, and legislation aimed at strengthening the health centers’ ability to provide affordable, accessible, comprehensive, quality health care services to the uninsured, underserve, Medicare and Medicaid Arkansans. Students of this rotation will get to spend 1 week each at the individual community health centers in Ft. Smith, Monticello, and West Memphis. This is a great opportunity to gain a plethora of experience in various areas of the state. At this time we can only allow students in this block on a voluntary basis. This rotation will require travel to various areas of the state. Housing and travel support will be provided. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity!
