“We were delighted to recruit Dr. Kamoga to our internal medicine team in Northwest Arkansas,” said Stephanie Kruger, MHA, senior administrative services director for the region. “Northwest Arkansas is growing rapidly, but without more providers, the community risks falling behind in ensuring the health and well-being of its people. Access to primary care is the foundation of a thriving, healthy region.”

Clinic hours are Monday through Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Thursday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. The clinic is located at 1125 N. College Ave. in Fayetteville.
Kamoga is board-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians. Kamoga earned his medical degree from Mbarara University of Science and Technology in Uganda, followed by completing his Internal Medicine Residency at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio. With over 15 years of experience as a hospitalist and general internist, he has held key roles, including program director of the Internal Medicine Residency at White River Health in Arkansas. Now at UAMS, Kamoga is dedicated to shaping the future of medicine by training the next generation of internal medicine physicians.
Internal medicine focuses on the health and care of adults. Internal medicine doctors, or internists, specialize in diagnosing, treating and preventing illnesses in people 18 years and older. They manage a wide range of conditions, including common illnesses like diabetes and high blood pressure as well as more complex problems involving the heart, lungs and other organs. Furthermore, they coordinate care with specialists. Whether a patient needs a cardiologist for heart issues or a gastroenterologist for digestive problems, internal medicine doctors make sure all aspects of care work together. The UAMS Northwest Internal Medicine Clinic in Fayetteville is dedicated to helping adults stay healthy at every stage of life.
The UAMS Northwest Regional Campus includes 356 medical, pharmacy, nursing and health professions students, 80 medical and pharmacy residents, and two sports medicine fellows. The campus has 13 clinics including internal and family medicine, a student-led clinic, orthopaedics and sports medicine, behavioral health/psychiatry, geriatrics, genetics counseling, transplant follow-up, and physical, occupational and speech therapy.
