About Regional Campuses

About Regional Campuses

UAMS Regional Campuses, formerly Area Health Education Centers (AHECs), was founded in 1973, through the combined efforts of the Governor, the State Legislature, and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), as a means to encourage UAMS medical school graduates to remain in Arkansas, and help address the state’s shortage and uneven distribution of primary care physicians. What began with medical and residency training now encompasses nursing, pharmacy, mid-level and allied health professions, as well as a statewide network for health career pipeline programs, continuing professional education, library resources, patient-centered quality care initiatives, and telehealth connections to cutting-edge medicine.

In an effort to ensure an adequate health care workforce to care for future Arkansans, eight teaching centers were established to expose future health professionals to underserved communities and provide a more varied hands-on experience than they might receive in a traditional urban, academic environment.
