Alicia

University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences is a genuinely unique learning environment, specializing in highly specific fields in medicine. Medical education and care ranges from routine to rare and includes research clinics. For instance, Jones Eye Institute at UAMS is currently providing routine eye care and surgeries, but also serves as a research facility for genetic eye disease. Using the latest technology to help identify genes and trace lineage of the diseases helps to teach not only technology students how to become eye care technologists, but also ophthalmologists in residency and medical assistants. UAMS truly exhibits its core values of excellence, integrity, and respect to support not only their educational environment, but their clinical and community environment as well.

I visited UAMS over the summer with JRMC MASH Camp, and I really liked the hands on activities , and how they want to set you up with jobs after you graduate.

I love it so much! I honestly feel like I will be prepared for real-life nursing following graduation! They also incorporate teaching with other health care professionals so we can integrate interprofessional teamwork outside of school once we’re in the workforce.
