UAMS Acute Care Surgery

The UAMS Medical Center serves as a tertiary referral center for critically injured adult patients, admitting more than 2,800 patients with traumatic injuries each year. All division members are involved in teaching, research and administrative activities. This highly dedicated surgical faculty, together with closely supervised senior and junior general surgery residents, provide around-the-clock

coverage, to save Arkansas’ most critically injured patients. The Surgical Critical Care team is an interdisciplinary team of experts providing state of the art advanced tertiary medical care to critically ill and injured adult patients admitted to UAMS’s 24 bed Surgical Intensive Care Unit. Providing optimal care of the surgical critical care patient requires both the broad range of specialists available at UAMS, as well as the resources of a tertiary referral center.
