University of Arkansas
hands-on
  • 25-26Rotator in 2025-26 described UAMS as a well-resourced program with a new orthopedic hospital purpose-built with residents in mind (physician lounge, resident room, conference space, clinics co-located). Busy peds service at a stand-alone children's hospital (~5+ attendings); busy trauma at the main site with volume that still leaves time for teaching. Residents operate early under appropriate supervision from seniors/attendings; strong resident community.
U Arkansas
mixed hands-on
  • 18-19Two rotators in 2018/19 described four 1-week subspecialty blocks, strong joints and hand exposure, growing faculty and research presence, and coverage of university, peds, and VA sites. Rotators raised concerns about the call schedule with q4 home call and no post-call day, and limited LOR opportunity with the chair. No interview was offered on rotation.
  • 16-17Rotator in 2016/17 described a well-liked program with strong operative training, tight-knit residents, and q3-4 home call. All subspecialties were covered, didactics were on Tuesday mornings, and fellowship placement was reported as strong.

Paraphrased from rotator survey responses. Names and identifying details removed.
