Thank you for your interest in the UAMS Regional Centers El Dorado Family Medicine Rural Track Residency Program! We hope this information answers your general questions about our program. If you are selected for an interview, we look forward to discussing your questions in greater detail.  

Program Schedule

Our program follows a 4-4-4 model, welcoming four new residents each academic year. Training begins in an urban setting during PGY-1 and transitions to a rural environment in PGY-2 and PGY-3. The rural training site in El Dorado, about a two-hour drive from Little Rock, offers a refreshing change of pace and rich, hands-on learning opportunities. Most residents live in Little Rock during PGY-1, where a variety of housing options are available. For PGY-2 and PGY-3, we recommend settling in or near El Dorado, where most of your training occurs. The area provides affordable housing and a reasonable cost of living, making it a practical and comfortable choice. For more details on housing, visit Go El Dorado.
