Harmoney Overturf, UAMS M3

My time in El Dorado has been the most fulfilling clinical experience of my medical career thus far. I learned so much from Dr. Watson and her colleagues, and everyone I met was so kind and welcoming. It really felt like I was part of the community, and I am so excited to return to El Dorado!

Macie Cain, M.D.

As a fourth-year med student at the UAMS El Dorado campus, I had an awesome experience working with FMOB and OB providers. The doctors were super welcoming and always eager to teach – they let me jump in on suturing, assist with c-sections, and get hands-on experience delivering babies. I also got a lot of great clinic experience. It was such a supportive environment and definitely one of the highlights of my training!
