“Fort Smith is a wonderful place. Since first coming here as a medical student, I have enjoyed the diverse patient population, the welcoming nature of faculty and staff alike, and the excellent education given to me by the attending physicians that I work alongside every day. The community itself is family-friendly, with good schools; safe, affordable neighborhoods; excellent city parks and youth sports; and a rich history. Seasonal arts & cultural events, a regional airport, and proximity to larger cities make it an ideal spot for a resident physician. My family and I appreciate our decision to settle here more with each passing year and look forward to living and working here for decades to come.” Upton Siddons, PGY-3 Co-Chief Resident, UAMS West
