it was given the AAFP’s Achievement Award, ranking sixth. This is the 18th time UAMS has received the award. Daniel Knight, chairman of the UAMS Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, says, “UAMS is proud to receive this award because we recognize the huge demand for family medicine doctors.” UAMS is the state’s only comprehensive academic health center, with colleges of medicine, nursing, pharmacy, health-related professions and public health; a graduate school; a 540,000-square-foot hospital; and six institutes: the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute, Jackson T. Stephens Spine & Neurosciences Institute, Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy, Harvey & Bernice Jones Eye Institute, Psychiatric Research Institute and Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging. It’s the state’s largest public employer with more than 10,000 employees, including nearly 1,150 physicians and 2,836 students and 761 medical residents.
