Policies
The residency program aims to provide residents with an extensive experience in the art and science of medicine in order to achieve excellence in the diagnosis, care, and treatment of patients. To achieve this goal, residents agree to abide by certain policies and guidelines. In return, residents get a number of benefits and the training they need to be successful in their careers. The residency program follows all ACGME and the Baptist Health – UAMS GME Committee policies.
The Policy Manual of the residency program is currently under revision. The PDF download is coming soon.
