UAMS

UAMS is Arkansas’s only comprehensive academic health center, a public institution with about 3,500 students, more than 2,000 faculty, and a statewide clinical and research footprint. Its Little Rock campus combines a teaching hospital, outpatient clinics, research facilities, and clinical support infrastructure, giving corporate R&D teams access to patient-care settings. Regional presence in Northwest Arkansas, statewide outreach, and clinical relationships with Arkansas Children’s Hospital and the Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System extend collaboration beyond the main campus. Research is supported primarily by the National Institutes of Health and other competitive federal agencies; BioVentures, UAMS’s technology licensing office and business incubator, supports licensing, startups, and commercialization.
