As our mission is to train both general internal medicine physicians and to prepare those interested to seek further subspecialty training to serve the people of Arkansas, we have developed a formalized Fellowship Preparation Plan consisting of the following elements:
- Fellowship mentors. Once a resident notifies us of her/his interest in pursuing a fellowship, we work to place them with a mentor in that field. This physician could be local and part of our faculty, and/or be involved with subspecialty training on the Main Central Arkansas Campus in Little Rock. This allows for career guidance and ideally, the potential to participate in ongoing projects/research related to the specialty. In addition, we offer one-on-one mentorship with the PD/APDs for CV reviews, interview practice, and application review during the fellowship application process.
- Dedicated Research Curriculum and support for scholarly activities. Hanna Jensen, M.D., Ph.D., an assistant professor of clinical research in the UAMS Departments of Surgery and Radiology, provides support for UAMS students, residents, and faculty in all aspects of clinical research at our institution. We also have a fulltime librarian on the Northwest Campus and the support of a statistician to help with resident scholarly activity.
- Opportunity for collaboration at the main UAMS campus in Little Rock. Residents at our program have the opportunity to participate in research projects and develop mentors in internal medicine subspecialty divisions at the main UAMS campus in Little Rock.
