| The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) invites all undergraduate students from four-year or two-year colleges in Arkansas or Arkansas students attending college in bordering states to attend its Undergraduate Pre-Health Conference on April 17.

Applications are due by March 20. Register at regionalcampuses.uams.edu/health-careers/college-students/.

The free event is from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. at the I. Dodd Wilson Education Building on the UAMS campus in Little Rock. The conference will give college students the chance to talk with representatives from all five UAMS colleges (medicine, nursing, pharmacy, public health, health professions) and the UAMS Graduate School.

The conference, sponsored by UAMS Regional Campuses, will feature six breakout sessions with colleges, a student panel at lunch, and tours of the campus that will showcase the academic options offered at UAMS. Faculty and current UAMS students will explain what to expect from a professional school journey, what each academic program offers and evaluate paths to a health care career.

UAMS is the state’s only health sciences university, with colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Health Professions and Public Health; a graduate school; a hospital; a main campus in Little Rock; a Northwest Arkansas regional campus in Fayetteville; a statewide network of regional campuses; and eight institutes: the Winthrop P.

UAMS includes UAMS Health, a statewide health system that encompasses all of UAMS’ clinical enterprise. UAMS is the only adult Level 1 trauma center in the state. UAMS has 3,553 students and 1,015 medical residents and fellows.
