What the program's website says
Sentences quoted word for word from the program's own website, updated Nov 16, 2026. They are not checked by us: a page may be old or cover several programs, so open the source link before you rely on it.
- Interviews
Q: Will you be hosting this year’s interview online, in person or both? A: All residency interviews for the 2026–2027 recruitment season will be conducted virtually. source
The University of Arkansas will be conducting virtual interviews for the 2026-2027 match. source
However, we review applications on a rolling basis and issue interview invitations throughout the recruitment season. source
Applicants will also have an opportunity to participate in a virtual social event with current residents during their interview week. source
- Visa
Q: Do you accept the J1 visa or sponsor H1? For information on other non-immigrant visa types, or if you have questions, visit the UAMS Immigration Services page, or contact UAMS Immigration Services at AskImmigration@uams.edu. source
At this time, UAMS and its ACGME-accredited residency and fellowship programs only sponsor J-1 physician visas for international medical graduates who are outside the United States. source
We welcome applications from all eligible candidates and encourage international applicants who require visa sponsorship and are applying from abroad to pursue the J-1 visa pathway. source
- Graduation year
Applicants who are more than three years from graduation may still be considered if they have significant recent clinical training or experience. source
- USMLE / COMLEX
Is there a maximum number of attempts? A: Because of the large number of applications we receive, we use a passing USMLE Step 1 result and a Step 2 CK score of approximately 240 or higher as initial screening. source
Q: Do you require both USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK before granting an interview? All applicants must have passed the USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 before an applicant can be considered for an interview. source
Q: Do you accept COMLEX scores? Osteopathic applicants may submit COMLEX scores, though the USMLE Step 1 and 2 exams are required as well. source
- US clinical experience
If so, how long? A: U.S. clinical experience is not required. source
For international medical graduates, recent hands-on U.S. clinical experience is preferred and can strengthen an application. source
Observerships and research experiences are not considered equivalent to hands-on clinical experience. source
- ECFMG
Q: At the time of application, do you require the ECFMG Certificate? ECFMG certification is not required at the time of application, but must be completed in accordance with UAMS Graduate Medical Education requirements before beginning residency training on June 1. source

Where current residents went to medical school
Counted from the program's own residents page (page 1 · page 2 · page 3) on Nov 15, 2026. We count lines that name a country or medical school, not people, and we do not store names, so treat the numbers as approximate and check the page.
